My bestie and I have been together for 3 years now.
And now is the time every one of us have decided to move in together, one thing our girl actually wants in our new house will be a fireplace.
I thought that was kind of an odd want. But I do not have an issue with it; Now nights you can buy electric and gas fireplaces and not have to break the bank just to have a fireplace in your home. The reason I found out that our girl actually wanted either an electric fireplace or a gas fireplace was because her ex spouse hated fireplaces of all kinds, she would never allow a fireplace to be in her home! When I asked our girl the reason her ex hated fireplaces she told me something interesting. She said that her ex was so crazy that she actually believed that using an electric fireplace would use up too much energy and make their electric bills high. Then she also believed that using a gas fireplace would poison everyone in the lake house and kill them. Her ex was a real wack job it sounded like, and first of all an electric fireplace would save you a lot of money on energy use compared to using a central heating and a/c method unit all the time for your heating in the Winter. Second off, with a gas fireplace it will not poison or kill anyone if you actually take care of the fireplace and guess how to look after it! I told our girl she had no worries about getting a fireplace in our new home.
