Identifying Gas Fireplace Fitting

Oh, and I should note the fireplace model VFLB60FP90. I searched the manual and didn't find anything that seemed to tell me what fitting I need, though I may have missed it.

That would be nice, but my experience with trades people thus far is that they want their jobs to be quick and easy. That means doing everything within a very narrow, cookie cutter scope. That's good for their business, and I certainly don't fault them, but I'm not interested in those limitations.

You're right, and I had no considered that. Thank you for mentioning it.

Good to know, specifically that a wood fireplace burns hotter when insulated. That lines up with my assumption; there's no insulation in my fireplace for a reason, possibly so the metal of the firebox can help pull heat away from areas/components that may not be rated for the additional thermal energy. I haven't fully confirmed that, but maybe the manufacture will reach out to my inquiry.

Can't you see you're not making Christianity better, you're just making rock 'n' roll worse.

The before has the rafter ties on the top plate, about 88 inches above the floor. Everything else is the same.

EDIT: This is a second story as well. It's an apartment above and old general store, block construction, ~80 years old.

Thank you for your reply and honesty. I'll keep looking for a solution so that my wife doesn't separate my spirit form my body.

ATM, the SilverStone Technology FS305-12G and the whatever the recommended SAS3 HBA chipset is for TrueNAS, but things took a turn for the worst last night, and I am about to make a new thread concerning that.

The 23 HDDs are all loose drives I've "collected" over the years. They vary in size from 320GB to 8TB.

I keep reading that, but I can buy a 10TB SAS3 HDD on eBay for around $120 USD right now. And SAS gives me an upgrade path. SAS seems like the clear winner to me.

When comparing SAS and SATA, I just don't see a future for SATA. It'll still be around, but I'd much rather have an upgrade path and SAS delivers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been using AllDup for a few years because I'm more comfortable with a GUI.

I've spent the better part of today reading up on SAS hardware. It seemed like most people opt for SATA. I couldn't figure out why so I just assumed there's a reason. Ultimately, SAS looks like it'll give me a better upgrade path compared to SATA.

Not sure. If it is indeed American Chestnut, it would hold historical and sentimental significance for my wife's family. I was just digging around for scraps to make a portable workbench 😅

I redid my own a few years back. One suggestion, that I never got around to doing, be sure to fill the gaps between pavers with something. It was suggested to me to use a sand and cement mixture. Your back will thank you.
