One of our walls in out living room is brick and we would like to have a fireplace there. How would you suggest building one? It has a gas pipe hookup but we are also looking at electric ones. My husband can lay bricks, tile, stone, whatever. He can also make a mantel. We would really appreciate any tips or suggestions!

Answer
visit a hearth store, they have many options for vent free gas fireplaces, since you already have the line there its your best option, you can buy them with the mantel or without, if its a zero clearance model it will only produce heat out of the front and so the brick is a moot point. i recently installed one in my living room and constructed my own mantel for it, took me about 20 minutes to install and alother 30 to build the mantel, very easy

How difficult is it to pipe gas in for a gas stove?

My house is mainly electric, but we do have a gas fireplace on the first floor within about 30 feet of the stove. How difficult and how expensive would it be to have someone come in and pipe in gas to the kitchen so I can have a gas stove? I hate electric stoves!

Answer
Couple hundred bucks around here. If you are handy, DIY, materials are cheap.
