There's a fire!

Made the offer on this house on Friday the 13th, signed the papers and moved in on Halloween in 1996. In 18 years have never built a fire in the fireplace.

I don't even have any firewood.

I've thought about getting one of those fancy gas logs things that looks like a nice wood fire, but just never have gotten motivated enough to spend any money on it.

Would be afraid to light it up without having a chimney sweep clean the spider webs and birds nests out.

We converted our fp to gas since it's more for show than for go.

Do ambulances come quicker if you have a fireplace?

Oh, so that's why a fire truck always shows up with the ambulance.

Every once in a while think it would be nice to turn the thermostat down, light up the fireplace, and drink some hot cocoa all cozied up around the fire.

I think it would be even better to live where a fp isn't necessary.

Well, in 18 years my fireplace has not been "necessary."

Brother built a house out on the farm to use as a retreat. It was built as a Y2K bunker so the windows are all small and the fireplace is a free standing wood stove you can cook on. Way too practical. Now he wishes he had put in huge windows facing the pond, a big rock fireplace everyone could lounge around, and a giant covered porch.
