Once you have gas to the house this give you the option for gas water heater, stove, fire place and dryer.   

We found out the hard way that the rental we owned in Baltimore City couldn't have a working fireplace if we were renting it out.  

Something that makes them both go " I don't like that road, but I can see myself working in the garage/cooking in that kitchen/relaxing in front if that fireplace with a glass of wine". in that case a couple K worth of "extra Pizazz" may be worth it to push them over.Good Luck!

Id really like to know color wall paint Dave Charron and Christine Wathne used with there grey and white shakers.I have red brick features inside the house including the fireplace I want to leave alone, I want to use white shaker cabinets in the kitchen w/ a black granite counter, and I feel like I need to use something close to white, like a really light grey...

I violated something I learned a long time ago when I refinanced my own house years ago..No one cares if you have three fireplaces with premium tile work - no one will care if you have a new kitchen and new bathrooms with faucets made out of gold (figuratively speaking, but to get my point across, which I'm sure you can relate with).  

And those center lines can carry all the way through the building; why not have a window, centered on a light fixture, centered on a door, centered on a hallway, centered on an entry to a room with a centered fireplace?

It's huge, three fireplaces, half-acre lot with a beautiful lawn over-looking the river, one of the nicest neighborhoods in town.

I've had my contractor paint the inside of a fireplace with firebox paint and the inspector applauded us for putting in a "brand new fireplace."

The house was 8 years old and had a faulty fireplace.

This means we are now a full week behind schedule and this is impacting my next trades that I have booked, from windows and fireplace all the way up to the first of the mechanical trades.By now we were supposed to be framing the second floor bedroom walls and preparing the site so the trusses could be delivered and craned up on the roof.
