Dude. My girls are 7. It's real to them.


Just pretend the chick is really, really drunk. It'll be like she's 7. But bigger and kind of fat. She'll dig it. Trust me.

And she'll be really impressed by you frenching in a huge television above the fireplace.

Really.

I resisted the gas fireplace for a long time. But, the new gas logs look real and turn the switch, throw the match and poof. Plus it burns mucho cleaner.

Course, every time I light the gas logs, I feel like doing the Tom Hanks Castaway bit, "I made FIRE!!"

Deucey,

The main fireplace in my parent's house, where I rent my apartment is one of those 2 story fieldstone fireplaces, yet no chicks come to see it.

Tell them about the fireplace and then tell them you'll make them a hot chocolate after you rub their shoulders and how hard it is making it as a single woman nowadays.

Trust me Muenkey. They'll see the fireplace, the rest is up to you.

Don't you think I should get rid of my parents first?

Arent't they old enough that they fall asleep early enough that you can claim that they are your help?

Unfortunately, no. In fact, my mother's cleaning lady is older than her.

You're supposed to light it? I thought it was the fieldstone that turned the chicks on.

Chicks ain't the only ones that dig fireplaces. I grew up with a fireplace in my home. A house just doesn't feel like a home without a fireplace.

In my last house, I had a two-sided fireplace. It opened on one side in the living room and on the other side in the bedroom. We put up a screen on the other side when in use.

It burned logs, but used a gas "log lighter" underneath. A metal pipe with holes that threw up 8 inch flames, very handy.

The guy who installed it was not licensed. He cracked a fitting and gas leaked into the wall. My ex lit it one day and the wall literally blew up! Three 4-ft sections of dry wall shattered.

I came home and thought "We've built this 2 months and she's remodeling?"

Fireplaces are cool if you live someplace that gets cold enough to use them. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why people have fireplaces in Florida. There might be two days a year you can actually get good use out of it....the rest of the year you'd have to run the A/C to keep the fireplace from heating the place up too much..

You need the big fluffy furry bear skin rug in front of the fireplace to really get the girls

[happythoughts 0]

Yep, I live in Florida and that is exactly what people do. During both days of winter, people turn on their air conditioners so that it is cold enough to light the fireplace. My ex did it.

I have a gas fireplace... that turns on with a LIGHTSWITCH!!! LOL!

but its great on a cold, rainy night... I get to curl up in front of a warm fire with two cats, a good book (or a good man!), and a cup of hot chocolate... aahhh, heaven.

I saw in another thread that you have your tv over the fireplace. At a parade of homes I went to this week, they had the tv over a fireplace, but it was hidden by a picture that you could move up or down (see attachments). I think you should make that your next project!

Hey Deuce

What kind of Rug is that in front of the fire place?

I think I posted this one a long time ago, but it is my daughter warming her little butt by the fire. When I asked her what she was doing, she said.. " mommy, my butt is cold." It's a gas fireplace , but it worked for her..

[champu 1]

my only complaint about gas fireplaces is you can't really roast marshmallows with them.

A fire is nice, but a fire and puffed up golden-brown marshmallows is better.

Next project for me is a dream that will most likely never happen

I luv my fireplace- it is the focal point of our rec room. Damn difficult to plunk a tv down in one of the corners as the room would then have two competing focal points, something a furniture layout could never solve.

My only option is to hang a flat panel TV like a painting above the fireplace—right smack in the middle of the room's focal point. The result? A cool application of technology that is well-integrated into the room design.

Then comes the problem of sound system so I want to mount the front three speakers flush around the TV, one each on the left and right and one directly above. Then place surround sound speakers in the ceiling at the back of the room. Then install two subwoofers—in the walls flanking the doors.

To house the eight components that produce sound for the theater and music throughout the house, I need a designed custom cabinet that is placed just outside the room, that keeps the equipment out of sight while it still allows the whole system to be operated from my favorite chair.

Of course the wall above the fireplace gets hot when fire is burning- so - is it smart to hang a tv there??
Dream on
To also have the tv hidden by a picture is perfect.
