My hubby plus I finally found our dream home. My pal and I did not want anything pricey. My pal and I were looking for a small, cottage type house. I have always enjoyed small houses. Something about them makes them feel more cozy plus homey to me. My hubby wanted a smaller home as well, so when my pal and I came across the home that my pal and I are in now, my pal and I knew it was perfect for our family; When my pal and I first moved into the house, I told my hubby that I absolutely wanted a fireplace. There was a fireplace in the home already, but it needed a lot of toil before it could be usable. My pal and I decided that cutting it out plus buying a new one would be our best option. My hubby did not want to have to deal with chopping wood all of the time, so he decided that a gas or electric fireplace would be the best option for us which was totally nice with me. I just enjoy the ambiance that a fireplace brings to a room. My pal and I ended up buying an electric fireplace because our friends told us that they wish that they would have bought an electric one because their propane fireplace put off a slight smell. My pal and I used the electric fireplace for about four months before I ruined it. I have no idea how, but somehow, I got something wet while cleaning the fireplace that I should not have gotten wet, plus now it is not lighting properly. I am so aggravated with myself, but my hubby keeps reassuring me that he will absolutely be able to service it for little to no money. I absolutely hope he can service it because I enjoy my electric fireplace!
