Gas insert installations in old wood masonry are a no-brainer, but let's be real, it's not exactly a walk in the park. After the high-efficiency unit is installed, surround panels are added to cover the fireplace opening, and that's when things can get a little hairy, especially with real stone fireplaces that are about as straight as a politician's promise.

It's always rewarding to take on a tough project and nail it, and this one was definitely a nail-biter.
