I need to know if my idea is possible: We want to buy a townhome which is PERFECT except the f/p is between the LR and DR and separates the 2 rooms. We want to remove it and move it 5 feet over, to the corner of the room.

As of right now, both rooms are relatively open except for this f/p facing the LR causing the rooms to be partially separated. (I know I am not explaining this well)... There is no flue/stack directly above the f/p...it is tucked under some drywall which decoratively goes off to the right at an angle. We were hoping to pull the f/p out, knock out the 5 feet long wall and replace it 5 feet over and reconnecting it but at an angel to the left vs. the right as it is now.

Is this possible? To relocate a gas f/p? We realize we will need to extend the gasline under the flooring, which we intend to replace anyway. Or this just a crazy fantasy. Thank you for any suggestions!!
