Genuine precambrian stone. I know. I dug it this Summer from where the cabin stands now.

Another advantage of the 602 is that I can backpack it to the cabin.
I'm used to playing sherpa. I've carried the entire cottage and observatory through that 500 feet trail one piece at a time.

Yes. I do poses telekinetic powers.

That foundation is not up to code!

Just kidding man! Very nice work and I love that stove. It reminds me of one I had on my second hearth.
 
Nice little setup you got there! And an animated picture too! I like it.
 
Cool, very cool
 
Wow. Very impressive project. Why this location - the view? Family land? Or are you a man from the 18th century? :)
What is your source of water - a spring? I'm guessing outhouse....
Looks peaceful.
Happy burning.
 
Me and my primary school best friend bought the 200 acres lot 30 years ago (it was very cheap then).
And we built a nice cottage that we've been shearing since. But I'm starting to think of retirement 10 years from now.
And for that, I naturally need my own private place. So why not build it next to the recluse observatory.
Next summer I'll bulldoze a road to the site. Dig a septic field, watter pump and landscaping. The summer after I'll expand another 16X20
with full bathroom, workshop, and storage space. If I remain bachelor I don't need any bigger than that to live comfy.
 
Good luck with the project. Retirement is gonna be a treat in a place like that!
 
I'll be the stars are beautiul out there. Not much "light pollution", I imagine.
 
Thats cool and you got me looking into that 602
 
The real question is - how will you keep up with hearth.com up there? ha. Neat project...
 
that is kickin ass too cool
 
Great pics . . . and neat hearth.

That just goes to show what people are capable of if they put their mind to something. Folks these days are always looking for rapid results. I envy your ability to stay focused and tackle a job that big

I paid $900 CND at Hubert because it was a return with two month usage. New they sell for $ 1,250. I know that they are pricey in relation with what you can get at a big box store. But man it's a real work of art!
If you haven't yet. Give it a hand of stove polish. It will bring out all the details.

Oh yes... I bought it last week. The manufacturing date is 2008

Thanks but it did not feel that dificult.
It was strictly a weekend project. On average I did 50 minutes of portage per day.
The best part other than getting in shape is that since I can only install so much material per weekend.
I did not feel a big bite to the wallet except for the Jotul !
