I’ve been living in a new apartment for about three months now, and I swear I’m still figuring this apartment out, it has a few particular characteristics to be aware of, like the faucet in the home office only provides chilly water and the front door tends to stick when you close it too quickly, then these facts are definitely dealt with, however I’m still holding my breath to find more particular kinks around here, recently, we made a positive discovery when we figured out that the fireplace absolutely works! The apartment has a split level floor plan, so the living room sits down lower than the rest of the apartment and showcases a sizable cement fireplace bookended by two tall built-in bookcases.
The fireplace flue had been obscured by insulation from the inside, so we assumed that the heating unit could not absolutely be utilized! However, the other afternoon my bestie finally investigated, and found that the wood burning fireplace was fully functional! Even better, it has a gas supply which makes lighting the fireplace extremely easily. You simply place your wood in the metal rack, twist the nozzle for the gas supply, and the whole fireplace ignites immediately! It effectively increases the temperature in the entire lower level of the house. My fantastic friend and I genuinely didn’t plan on ever utilizing the feature, however now we can absolutely count on using the fireplace for functionally heating our house, rather than just for decoration. I can’t wait to see what an improvement this alternate heat source makes on our energy bill this winter.
