当我考虑如何处理我们的壁炉时，寻找蜂巢思想的一般沉思。

明尼阿波利斯市，明尼苏达州，第6A区，1920年代的街头电车郊区Spec House，Stucco Finish。壁炉位于墙外的南部，烟囱在地下室足迹外面，根据我们阁楼的外观，烟囱的内砖墙是螺柱墙的共面。烟囱的饰面是砖块上方的灰泥。

We’re planning a variety of energy upgrades, attic air sealing and reinsulating, blowing cellulose in the walls, etc. I have no desire to keep the fireplace functional, a childhood of home heating with woodburning stoves sucked out all the romance of heating with logs for me.

辩论/密封和放弃它或继续进行演示之间的辩论。Demo looks like a high potential of cascading issues including moving the gas meter which for some reason is of course attached to the chimney on the outside, rebuilding the bit of roof that it’s notched into, etc. Capping/ sealing raises the how-to/ best practices questions and the quite high probability there’s not a real water control layer anywhere in the entire chimney assembly and sealing from the inside, outside or both is going to reduce drying.

有人做到了，并且对为什么这是您做出的最好/最坏的决定？

为了增加乐趣，我可以肯定的是，我们在卧室里遇到的壁炉气味来自烟囱，它以某种方式在我们的床头板后面运行…
