:Gas logs at Lowes start at $169There are Youtube videos on how to put them inI'd probably budget 500-1,000 depending on price of the logs and distance to gas lineUsing CSST pipe will probably make the job faster I ran one for my daughter.Tapped into the black pipe outside as the fireplace was cantilevered off the family room next to the gas meter.I basically drilled through the side of the old wood burning f/p chimney/firebox & ran the black pipe into the firebox & installed a gas log insert.Even though the gas insert was supposedly "vent free" I added an intake for the combustible air through the side & exhausted it up through the existing chimney.The total cost was $399 for the remote controlled 22" gas log insert & I added a small blower fan $20 in the firebox.

Those of you nubs who think that REI is all about the damn CF numbers you see on your screen - think again.Why are you doing it, and why will you not quit when **** hits the fan...?!

I'm not a big fan of post cards, Val pak, etc like the other folks mentioned..... since we are in a needs driven business, remember, the 4 D's:  Divorce, Death, Dislocation, & Disaster.  

I'm obviously a fan of the area.

I am a big fan of Texas.

Account Closed looks like from your pic that you are a wolf pack fan.

I am a AZREIA member, and a Bigger Pockets Podcast fan, and a licensed Realtor with SWO Properties (Broker). 

I got into a triplex now 4plex back in 2012 with an FHA loan and it now pays double the mortgage (piti) so I'm definitely a fan of the plan if you can make it happen.
