How to mount a flatscreen television above a non-working fireplace?
August 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Wall Mounted Fireplaces
I was going to get a 42" TV and mount it above a low fireplace that isn’t functioning (so there’s no heat/soot concerns). The wall above the fireplace is drywall and I don’t yet have a stud finder. Most likely, would there be normal spaced studs in front of a chimney? I’m just concerned about [...]

Which is more efficient, a natural gas fireplace or an electric fireplace?
June 20th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Electric Fireplaces
I live in the North East (NJ) if that factors in at all. I also won’t be using it as a main source of heat. It will be more for a "back-up" source of heat if needed and also help add to the look of our family room.
