Updated Fireplace
A friend of mine was redecorating her house and the fireplace really needed to be updated.
Fireplace Renovation
We recently purchased property in Virginia with a small farmhouse cottage (832 sq. ft.) as a vacation home for us. The home was built in the 1940's, while in good repair - needed lots of cosmetic updates. The tiny living room contained this very large brick fireplace that someone had mortared round river rocks on it. While the rocks are pretty, but we wanted to bring the fireplace back to brick - to update the room and gain space. We also soon found out that the rocks were unsafe, many of them were loose and falling off - as well as hiding places for bugs and spiders!

We have a brick woodburning fireplace that we would like to convert to gas logs. We're in our 60's and chopping wood or and/or hauling wood may not be in our future. What steps are needed to install gas logs?

Need to replace the firebrick in my fireplace insert. Unit is County Flame but 35 or more years old and requires the really thin firebricks called splits and really hard to find the right thickness. This is still our basic heat for our house and well worth the effort. Thank you for your help.
