It's A Wrap!


The roof is done, complete, finished!!  Isn't it Beautiful?!!  So now we can finally say we have a roof over our heads, but it's still a bit breezy inside because we don't have all the windows in yet-- there's always something else to work on.  Speaking of other work...here's what else we've been working on...



If you look close on the roof, you will see the start of the growth of a baby chimney.  When full-grown, this will be the chimney for our kitchen stove.


A Jotul (pronounced Yo-tul) #404, cast-iron, wood burning kitchen stove made in Norway, with oven and range-top.  This baby can cook a roast AND all the fixings.  It was manufactured and imported around the 1980s and they are pretty hard to find on the used market, but we found one a while back in Michigan.  We made a mad dash there in a weekend and brought her back to live in our new house.  She's going to love it here!  Can't wait to hook her up and try her out!!

As we go to "press" (my grandkids won't get the significance of that?  Will we have presses in the future??  Or will we just post?  I'll have to go back and watch the Jetson's again.) the second chimney is full grown.  We now have a dual-exhaust house!  We're working on the third one, which I'll post about next time.  Until then...Happy Building!
