Hey all
Been a while since I've been on here, between wireless connection snafu and other things have been busy.
At any rate, seems I will be changing addresses sometime during the coming year, bought a house and will be transitioning to the new space in the spring but won't be vacating my existing house until everything's finished and it's ready to sell or rent. I guestimate that it'll be over 12 months before I'm ready for it to be on the market, that is unless I someone approaches me about buying it as it sits today. If that happens I'd have to do cash or contract sale.
As you all know I spent a lot of time installing the Olympic insert this past fall and I really enjoy it! I can't imagine ever going back to just forced air heating, it wouldn't be the same. But here's the tough question, do I pull out and take the Olympic with me when I go or leave it and hope that it helps enhance the sale (should that happen)? If I rent the house I would probably take the insert unless the tenant could demonstrate adequate ability to operate it.
The new place has an almost identical firebox so it would mean doing all of the same things there plus a few others as well, but I don't want to be in the new place next winter without an insert. Of course I'd have to do another liner install etc but that's something I planned to do anyway.
Comments and opinions welcome on this, not sure if the insert will add that much value at the sale or not.
