YAY for cool mornings!

[oxydolfan1]

I'd love to have a German-style "Kachelofen"-a large stove surrounded by ceramic tile-but unfortunately space and budget don't permit.

I put a natural gas fireplace in my old house, replacing the baseboard heaters that were there before, and I loved it - so cozy and warm. We're thinking of putting a gas log in the basement fireplace here, so we don't need to heat the basement unless we're down there.

Yes-we have a good cold snap here-very unusual for October.And they are replacing the boilers in the transmitter building-it can get rather cool as I type this-only one transmitter is on and it will sign off in half hour.Then its shiver for the rest of the morning unitl about 6:30A when we start bringing up transmitters again-the heat of the 4-1000s in a RF driver cabinet sure feels good!And they look pretty too!If there was a "pot belly" stove here I would throw a log in it!What a time to replace the boiler.At home I threw on an extra blanket and got out the electric heater for the den-TV room.Usually don't have to bring that out until late November.And I have to drive out into the cold tower feild to adjust one of the antennas slew pattern-frost on the "company" car-and on the switcher components.

Be careful with gas...

Yes you MUST have an exausted fan upper the cooktop if it's gas working...it means no free flames indoor without the CO could swap with Oxigen...

For heating... well gas is used generally in a furnace... here gas-fireplace are considered "sad"...

What about these fireplace... if you can get good burning wood?

Oh, that's mine...

We have got this one...(click on Open Right/left in the third pink box)

Obviously this is the internal system (firebox), then after you have installed it, you have to "dress" it as you want, to get your own style (fireplace)...

We did a customed firelplaces, none of the showed ones... symply two shelves of green marble above and below the firebox door...ah, and we did also the warm air puming system... it reahces 15m of distance...infact the firplace is in livignroom and the warm air pipe get until the kitchen...

I think that Palazzetti has got some representative in US too, why don't ask for him/her?

Good Bye

My Mum and Dads house

was built in 1989 has 4 bedrooms, your regular dining room lounge etc and utility room. Its true that these day only lounges get fireplaces. The rest of the house is served by Gas fired central heating. Except the conservatory which we put a Creda electric radiator in. The living room does not have prospects for a coal fire. However it has a large fireplace with marble surround and traditional mantlepiece etc. We installed a coal effect gas fire which ironically never gets used. We use the central heating as back ground. I like a fire i must admit, real or effect but im a warm person and overheat quickly. Therefore even in winter i never have the bedroom radiator on and prefer to wear a jumper when im at home in the day. When i was with my ex, lying in bed was tortourous in the winter. She would have the radiator on full whack and snuggle up to me. Me being a warm person would soon overheat and caused many commotion by hissing "get back on your side of the bed and turn that radiator off for christs sake" if that didnt work, It was my choice to sleep in the back bedroom. One i liked i hasten to add. Well the house i now live in used to have 4 fireplaces. 2 in the bedrooms 2 downstairs and each one has been boxed in sadly. The house is a 2up 2down thats 120 years old.
