I want a wood stove. However, in my home pretty much any alterations we'll be making will be done with resale 5-10yrs. in mind. My realtor has told us that in our area, inserts/fireplaces are desired while stoves/hearths are not. Regardless, I'm wondering if it's possible to install a hearth so that it's easily removed from the floor/wall(s)? Or is a hearth, like a fireplace, a pretty permanent thing?
If I can install a hearth and then take it out without messing up the floor/wall(s), then I don't care what people think while we're there. When we go to show it if we're told the stove was a turn-off, I can just remove it and the hearth. Again, just wondering if it's possible/easy or not?
Thanks!
