we just decided one day that we would put in a wood burning stove. the idea came from me just mentioning that my parents had a stove they wanted to get rid of. kendall said let's do it and started making the plans before he even looked at the stove or had any idea if it would even fit in our little house! well.... he went and measured it, hauled it to our house, and started "playing" with the wall he wanted it to go on. much to our surprise there was a chimney behind the plaster wall!!! now for a little history on our house, it is very old! the chimney is actually from the coal bin that is in our basement that was once used to heat this house. so... we decided to chip out some of the brick to see how much room we would have because this changed our whole plan of how to make the stove fit. so long story short, our furnace pipe had been put through the chimney so we had to re-route that (behind the wall and into the hallway) so we could fit the stove and use the chimney for the stove pipe. we have worked on it only a few days here and there when we have had the time and with much help from dad jaussi we are just about done. kendall and i positioned it on the platform tonight and started our first fire!! here was the progress. THANKS MOM & DAD FINDLAY FOR THE STOVE AND THANKS DAD JAUSSI FOR ALL THE HELP WITH THE STOVE AND GETTING OUR HOUSE DIRTY WITH COAL :) !!
