When you have the cash to have a custom lake house built there are a lot of things you need to do… The first thing is to get yellowprints drawn up for the home, then when doing this there are a lot of other things to think about other than the general kneel out of the home; If you want a fireplace in your lake house that is something you need to labor into the yellowprints, but you have to also labor in all the heating, ventilation plus A/C related things too.
If you are wanting central heating, ventilation plus A/C you have to labor in the HVAC duct laying plus whole kneel out of that alone! So planning the build of a new lake house is not as easy as you may have thought.
A fireplace though is truly a bit more complicated than the laying out of a central heating plus cooling system unit. With a fireplace you have to get the whole thing built into the wall, plus then you will need to figure out how the venting of the fireplace will go as well. This can affect the entire build of your home. It could also make the construction of the lake house take a little longer if you are having a fireplace installed. If this sounds love too much hassle plus you truly want a fireplace, you may want to think about getting a gas fireplace or an electric fireplace. Those can be purchased plus put in yourself. A lot of the gas plus electric fireplaces are in a way portable! So this is something to think about.
