Be
sure to choose a spot that compliments the house and other structures on the
property. Also choose a spot that is ideal even if you change the landscaping or
setup of your yard. Remember, the fireplace is permanent. You have to be happy
with your placement decision. If you have any doubts, hold off on construction
until you are completely sure.

venting structures. Keep in mind that the addition of a chimney or the exclusion
of one may affect the overall look of your fireplace.
