Wood burning fireplace
Hi
Just a quick question . I have a woodburning fireplace, its all real brick..
My house is air tight and fireplace needs more air , i had a contractor come out and he said it needs a vent . So he suggested what they do is, put a 4 inch hole in the outside of the fireplace and we can open and close the vent ..
My question is can this be something we can do ourselves or does this have to be done by a professional ??? i was thinking that maybe home depot or some other store might have a machine that does this ?? just asking ???
Thanks for any info

Robin,
I would let them do it since they have the tools and know what is required by code. For the expense, it is well worth it! Iknow..you have to spend some money but better being done right than making a mistake in the process.
Hope this helps!
