| The winter months are fast approaching and I | | | | about it has changed. I have visited a few local |
| want to have a cozy fireplace to sit in front of | | | | heating outlets and I am impressed with the |
| and do some serious napping and reading for a | | | | state-of-the-art in this type of technology. I never |
| while. I am nearing my retirement and I have | | | | knew that heating with a direct vent gas fireplace |
| worked my entire adult life. I do want to slow | | | | could be such an attractive option for additional |
| down a bit and see what it feels like to put my | | | | heat generation ! |
| feet up, take a load off, chill, and other such | | | | I have this lovely den area that adjoins to a guest |
| things that my children and grandchildren keep | | | | room. In actuality, this room has been used for |
| telling me about. I suppose that one must | | | | many purposes over the years. Smile! I have |
| continue to learn new roles. I'm just not certain | | | | been thinking about making this area a place to |
| that spending too much down time is a wise | | | | hangout now that getting up and down the stairs |
| move. What is wise is staying warm during the | | | | isn't as easy as it used to be. There is a |
| cold months. The rest of this...I can pretend at ! If | | | | bathroom right down the hall and I even have a |
| I am going to enjoy a fireplace, I am going to | | | | separate entrance in and out of the house. What |
| need one of the direct vent gas fireplaces installed | | | | more could I ask for ? I saw the ideal model for |
| in my den. | | | | one of these direct vent fireplaces. It's designed |
| I have a lovely home and it has several chimneys, | | | | to provide see-through enhancement and to be |
| but one is used for the burning of fuel oil. The | | | | used where two rooms adjoin. You get a view |
| other two require a good deal of renovation, so | | | | from different angles! Also, I will be able to design |
| they have been closed off for now. The State in | | | | it with my own preferences in mind and taking in |
| which I reside would require me to build a new | | | | to consideration the current interior design of my |
| chimney for a heat source other than fuel oil. I | | | | home. I do think that this is such a wonderful idea |
| can't even get a dealer to come and insert the | | | | and I am most anxious to get on with it. You see, |
| piping for a wood burning stove in to the existing | | | | retirement does have some benefits built in to it! |
| chimney. This was many years back, but nothing | | | | |
