Advice/Experience

Post by normaM »

k, have a gas fireplace, dislike the fake logs. Can I get just those replaced without having to tear out and replace the entire fireplace? Anyone done it?
Secondly, if I can't can I just get the gas capped .. put in something arty? Never use it.
Thanks muchly

Ours is turned off. (as in the pilot light is off)
To stop air loss we have a piece of 2" Styrofoam that is cut to fit the opening. I have thought about painting or pasting a picture on the Styrofoam to make it look better. So far if company comes over I just remove it. (when I care enough)
I suppose you could put different pictures on each side to reflect the seasons.

We have a gas fireplace and did look into changing the logs. We decided not to do it, although I can't remember why. It seems to be an easy thing to do.

I figure it isn't much to cap it, I really want a more modern look
