How much would a custom GAS FIREPLACE cost? <idea pics includes>?

something similar to this. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.montigo.com/scource/img_1138-med.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.montigo.com/img_1138.html&h=543&w=800&sz=404&hl=en&start=4&um=1&tbnid=MKHu62e5QO74HM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgas%2Bfireplace%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN Also what do you think the return value on this would be?? I own a 2Bed/1Bath home, and plan to live here for about three more years. I dont think i'll be putting in a pool because the return on it is so little. If it pay 30 to have it put in, i may only get 10 back. So im thinking of starting small......light remodling in the bathroom, maybe gutting the kitchen......and as for the living room, I wanted to install french doors for a nice backyard entrance as well as a gas stove.........these are big plans!! I hope to have all this done within a year...we'll see. But as for the gas fireplace, I am LOVING the idea. I saw something like this on HGTV......

1. How long is a piece of string? Seriously, the cost of the fireplace itself may be trivial in comparison to installation costs, depending on availability and type of gas, type of vent required, building construction, permit fees, etc. Payback would probably be minimal at sale. http://remodeling.hw.net/content/CvsV/CostvsValue-project.asp?articleID=381305 http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/homeimprovementguide/resales1.asp A thorough cleaning and fresh paint are usually the best return on investement.
