Wood Stove & Farmers Porch

Now that it's getting cold, we decided we had to get our wood stove up and going. Rick ordered the stove pipe from a place in North Conway, NH, but one of the pieces didn't come in, but the store had one that was kind of blemished, so they gave it to us for free. We just installed everything and bought a can of stove pipe spray paint.



And it looks just fine!


Here is Rick building a fire and the fire warming up the cabin!

Actually, since the upper floor doesn't have any insulation, the stove can't keep the cabin very warm.

Another thing we got finished was the stair up to the farmers porch.
Actually, I don't know if I ever told you about the farmers porch. We just love sitting out there. We can light enough bug candles to keep the mosquitoes at bay. When it is warm enough, after we finish our work for the day, we set up our chairs and enjoy the evening.
