I didn't assume too much about fireplaces at first
I’ll be the first to divulge that I don’t assume much about fireplaces, even though I l acquired a lot after I purchased a apartment that has a nice fireplace. For starters, I didn’t assume that you’re supposed to have the fireplace cleaned thoroughly every year. This is to prevent all the creosote buildup that can cause chimney fires. The firewood naturally releases the creosote plus there’s nothing you can do other than to keep everything cleaned. It was funny when I first tried to build a fire in the fireplace, my wife had to ask what in the world I thought I was doing. I was building it teepee type like I did back when I was in boy scouts. She said I couldn’t build the fire like that, it would honestly tip over plus possibly cause a fire in the house. I don’t assume what I was thinking plus not to mention, there was a fireplace grate that is used for holding the wood so there is satisfactory oxygen flow to keep the fire going plus not produce too much smoke, then my wife was the one who showed me how to stack the logs appropriately because she was raised in a apartment that had a fireplace. She said she loved our new fireplace plus missed the outdated one that she had while she was growing up. Well, I think that if every one of us continue to live in this home, our children will learn how nice it is to have a fireplace as well, plus eventually when they move out, they might think about the memories she shared around the fireplace.
