If this is a "store bought" fire place (not a wood stove) then usually only processed presto logs are appropriate because they burn at a constant speed and keep the heat down.  

Electrical work, plumbing, foundation, windows, roofing, and AC/Heat.

In June 2024, we completed installation of a heated and chilled pool.

Buy a Summer home to get out of Vegas heat and be  able to fish and hike and quad etc etc we love the Moutains of the west.

If the home is 100 yrs old, I'm assuming it's a definite gut which is going to require new plumbing, electrical, heating, cosmetics.I spent about $140K reno on my multi family in the heights on NY ave and there were massive problems with it but it was a gut to 3 units & adding 2 bathrooms, 3 brand new kitchens 4 bathroom reno in total, all new flooring, sheetrock , insulation, framing, doors, electrical, plumbing, paint, parts of roof etc.

Not that I plan to live in or even visit the US anytime soon, but I don't want to deal with winter-related issues like heating, de-winterizing a home etc. 

Think of all the horror stories about tenants maxing out the heat with their windows open during the winter, deliberately running water bills up, etc. 

With fees doubling and competition heating up, you might want to rethink this investment.

You have to consider insulation and heating/cooling too.

We are also temporary heat providers for most large construction projects in and around Buffalo NY, neither I nor anyone in the industry that I know if has been contacted about setting up temporary heat for this project which is normally one of the first steps before a project gets into winter. thats a nice cottage industry winter heat..
