I don't know when all this house renovation happened - have not connected with a date yet on your site. <br />If you are still in it there is another factor to consider in the great fireplace debate. You can get a very good dvd of a fire to play on your 42 inch TV in the lounge when you have company or just want to read or work there.<br />You will save a fortune in natural gas or propane if that is your option and not have to deal with the several other problems that come with a working fireplace.<br /><br />You are right about not putting the TV over the fireplace.
