My girlfriend and I have been together for three years now.
- And now is the time we have decided to move in together.
One thing my girl really wants in our new home will be a fireplace. I thought that was kind of an odd want. But I do not have an issue with it. Now days 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 my girl really wanted either an electric fireplace or a gas fireplace was because her ex husband hated fireplaces of all kinds. He would never allow a fireplace to be in his home! When I asked my girl the reason her ex hated fireplaces she told me something interesting. She said that her ex was so crazy that he really believed that using an electric fireplace would use up too much energy and make their electric bills high. Then he also believed that using a gas fireplace would poison everyone in the house and kill them. Her ex was a real wack job it sounded like. First of all an electric fireplace would save you a lot of money on energy use compared to using a central heating and air conditioning system 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 know how to look after it! I told my girl she had no worries about getting a fireplace in our new home.
