The total cost is about $13K. If we didn’t have natural gas service, it would be a few thousand dollars more for the buried propane tank.

I think fireplaces in Florida are a total waste of money! We were surprised how many fireplaces we saw in Florida homes when we were house hunting. We had natural gas fireplaces in Minnesota in two different homes. We used the fireplace maybe 10 times after first moving in the house, then never again. To us, fireplaces are highly overrated. I guess we are just not fireplace people.

We aren’t beach people eithet. Once a month or every other month is enough. After a few hours, we’re tired of the beach. Some people are beach people and hang out at the beach at least 8 hours a day, almost every day.

I disagree. We had a wood burning fireplace in our living room in our Tampa house ( easily convertible to gas) and we used it a lot. We only used Duraflame logs. It w@s beautiful when the Christmas tree was up.

Miss our fireplace.
