Fireplace upgrade

When we first moved into our home, our fireplace was equipped with a gas start, but it was for wood burning. Kevin and I decided that we wanted to make it all gas burning for convenience and because of his allergies. So, this weekend we had a plumber come over and make the switch to ensure it was all done in time for Valentine's Day.

We are still in the process of getting a glass cover and black lava rocks to cover up the hardware.


We love it! It has a built-in thermostat, and it is SO easy to turn on and off. Benton is loving it as well. His pod (doggy bed, but called a pod since his crate is referred to as his "bed") is now sitting under the fireplace, and he loves having the extra heat. As soon as he stays on it long enough for me to grab the camera (he follows me anytime I get up), I will get a picture of him in action (or inaction, for that matter). :)
