Here in Chicago, the average price for 550 sq ft studio size condo with a view of your next door brick wall in a decent neighborhood is close to $200,000 and that's probably just a closet space in an average Houston house.
You can try bracing it to the house by attaching steel brackets of some sort to the chimney and structure of the house to buy you a year, maybe, but even then i wouldnt want a couple 2x4's to hold up thousands of pounds of brick and masonry. Is there just that one flue in the chimney?
The house is fairly well insulated with good windows. It runs fairy stable around 60 on second floor. I run first floor at around 65. this is with temps in the teens at night and twentees durring the day. I would like tolike it warmer but wood supply and homemade boiler can only do so much.

Our house was built in 2009 and it has a beautiful fireplace with an insert. We didn't do too many fires last winter (maybe 1) but this year are wanting to use it more.
If you are getting smoke in the house or you stove just don’t seem to be burning like should. Check the door seal and latch for a tight fit. Check the ash pan for shut tight and latched If all doors seals are good and latched. MOST pellet stove are Negative air. (Inside of the Firebox is...
As far as a fire in the house, as long as the stove is maintained right and installed properly, there is more chance that a bolt of lightning will hit your chimney and burn the house down than the stove doing it. Being ANAL and worrying about stoves/fire is a good thing, but not to the point of going nuts over it.
Can hot embers come out of your pellet stove and burn your house down
The house has radiator heat. The boiler kicks on intermittently when the thermostat shows that the house is 4-5 degrees above the set temperature. Is this a design feature of high efficiency boilers since it may take a while to bring the house up to temp with radiators or is there something wrong with the thermostat or boiler control?
Why does my gas boiler run when the house is warmer than the set temp?
I've installed a whole-house dehumidifier in my crawlspace. For various reasons (primarily drainage), I hung it from the floor joists above, using a simple platform made of 2x4s supporting a piece of plywood. Unfortunately, a lot of vibration is being transmitted into the house. I know the...
Hey guys, So I have a very small house in Western MA (main floor just under 900sq ft + walkout basement/built in garage which will not be heated, about 700sq ft of basement that will be heated). I have all electric baseboard heat on my main floor and my basement has a non-functioning gas stove...
The past few days, creosote is running down the outside of the pipe that is inside the house, between the ceiling and the stove. The exterior pipe looks fine. Also, this fall we had resealed around the pipe where it meets the roof. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions to help us figure out what is going on. Englander 13 - This IS our furnace.

Hello! This is my first post, but I've already learned a lot by reading through these forums. I'm building an ICF house on the Colorado Front Range, and I'm looking for a recommendation. The style of the house and roof pitch leave me preferring a 13-14' chimney height (from top of...
The stack was lower than my house and it would set off a smoke detector in my attic. The town elected to work with him and after he put in a 30' extension on his stack it became far less of an issue. Obviously making your home tighter will reduce the smoke getting inside. If you have a chimney and are not using it, that is logical thing to seal ...
I needed to with a 30 year old house. Before that, the stove would run for awhile, suck smoke through all the pipe seams, then after I sealed those it would just choke and die and fill the house with smoke. Ran beautiful afterwards.

From there the main to the house goes underground to the main house and comes up an exterior wall and actually above the ceiling into the attic space (under insulation but still meh). Kitchen sink and original shower are both exterior walls.
In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is drawn into a sealed firebox from outside the house through coaxial intake/ exhaust pipe. This eliminates depressurization, resulting in a warmer, healthier home environment.
Hello all, new member here and I absolutely love the site. I was hoping for some help from the experts. I bought a Quadrafire Sante Fe 2 years ago when I bought my house to replace an older Whitfield stove. It is vented out of the wall of my house, currently with about 1 ft. of pipe from the...
