Something I never knew after 10 years of Usenet!
I removed the signature completely as I don't think it is needed
anymore.

How the hell can he get himself in trouble? He's only a potential
buyer, not the owner. Anyone would be a complete idiot to buy a house
that has been converted from a single family to a multi-family without
any approvals.

"ack123" - Re: Cost of Gas Fireplace Install
- We just converted from a wood insert to a gas log insert. The cost for
the log set and doors was broken down as follows: $1200 for the 18" log
set, $540 for the doors, and $40 for the crackling ash pellets. Anyone
know if the crackling ash is a good price, or know of a wholesaler to
get a better price?

"Sean M" - Gas Furnace Air Flow problem
- I have a four year old Bryant Plus 90i gas furnace (replacing the
original gas furnace) and just recently had the same company add A/C.
Part of the A/C install included a furnace tune up because there was
some slight rattling and the thermostat would occasionally shut off
completely. The installers tuned up the furnace but couldn’t diagnose
the exact cause of the thermostat/furnace shut...

"Kim Webb" - Cost of Gas Fireplace Install
- I'm looking to replace my existing wood burning fireplace with gas
logs. I've been quoted $2800 for installation of the following:
C-5 Rasmussen
Log Set
Thermostat Remote Control
Grate, lava rocks
200ft of gas line
shutoff valve
removal of glass doors (they're ugly)
That's seems expensive but it's the best looking vented system we've
seen and they all seems to be about t...
