Insert In, Butt Out!













The propane fireplace insert finally arrived and was installed yesterday. One of the guys was a licensed gas installer, the other a newbie who could help but not yet do the critical stuff. The yellow gas line had to be run outside the house, so now there's a yellow road to the bricks instead of a yellow brick road. "Liner hoses" in the chimney draw cold air in and vent the fumes out. Lots of tools, a few mistakes that had to be corrected, many cold drinks on this very hot/muggy day.
The fireplace can't be used til Friday when the big tank is brought in at the bottom of the hill and the lines are hooked up. Good timing, because the weekend is supposed to be chilly.
So the insert is in, but it took a lot of butt.
