I bought a house at a really good price that has a fireplace in it.

However, I like to go 2x6 construction up here for obvious reasons as well as the 'morning room' concept off the kitchen with the vented fireplace.

No drugs.Put in the lease no swimming pools, hot tubs, fireplaces, fire pits, trampolines, weapons, fireworks, firecrakers, incense, hookah, smoking, underage drinking, etc.There will be more wear and tear, and it could be harder to charge any one tenant for damages to shared common spaces.

I undercut around the stair case, room divider railing, doorway trim, and stone fireplace to allow the floor to slip under.

The fireplace and the c-tops look very nice.

Delays equals big money.2) Fireplace fell off the house. 

I have a house with a smaller living room that I added a built in electric fireplace and cedar mantle.

Get in there and fix some frozen pipes, start with a hair dryer and graduate to a space heater, or (like I did) take your wife's favorite 'fancy' electric fireplace and drag it into the crawl space dirt to thaw the main floor P trap under their tub because you have no options and nothing is draining4.

For the most part, they really consider square footage.Now if you can add a bathroom or a fireplace.

Asbestos positive materials I've run in to -* Caulk around windows and doors* HVAC duct work tape* HVAC exhaust pipes* Resilient flooring glue* Resilient flooring* Mortar in fireplaces* Lining on underside of sinks* Plaster* Drywall* Drywall mud* Siding* InsulationGoogle "Asbestos in construction materials" and the results are staggering.
