-- i was talking to my neighbor tonight about their small gas fireplace (more like a gas-burning stove) and he said he heats the entire downstairs of the house with it, not using the furnace at all in the winter --

-- i mentioned i was looking at one rated for 1,500 sq-ft for my great room, and one rated for 800 sq-ft for my bedroom -- the house is only 1650 sq-ft, mind you -- the stoves are on thermostats --

-- he suggested i not even install a furnace -- but do the ductwork for the next buyer --

-- is this right thinking?

i am somewhat concerned about the smaller rooms, like the bathrooms, etc. getting heat --
