I have an original real fireplace in my home, and recently there were some extreme issues with the fireplace, i will not get into the particulars or I will be here all afternoon writing a mini novel trying to explain it all; However what I will say is that I called some fireplace professional in my local area & was able to get all fixed & refurbished, and so more or less, my aged fireplace is brand current again! It is literally like I just bought this aged fireplace all over again.
It works just the same as it did when I bought this loft almost 40 years ago & the fireplace is going strong as ever! I was easily pretty sad that the fireplace was going to be dead on me & that I would either have to go out & buy one of those current & fake electric fireplaces or gas fireplaces or possibly even have to get some form of central heating system for my home… Because I did not suppose it was going to be fixable. But the fireplace professionals pleasantly surprised me with all when they were able to make the fantastic aged fireplace brand current all over again. It was a real fantastic thing all around. So now I can love my original real & authentic fireplace like I was before. I easily gotten so used to having a fireplace in my loft all of these decades, but for it to have been broken beyond maintenance would have just been heartsplitting to me & I easily would not have been genuinely enthusiastic with an electric fireplace or gas fireplace.
