Hey all, I wonder if an upright piano would go better with the wood stove? It seems the grand piano is absorbing too many of our comments and dry (hot) air--hence the damage that is envisioned. And yes, firefighterjake I am pulling your leg on this one.

Aaargh! The fictitious troublemaking piano! Yes, I moved it into the little half bath next to the kitchen. It was easy to move because it lives inside my head

Does that increase the risk of tinkling on your tinkler? %-P
 
I havent read all the replies yet, in case no one mentioned it yet I'd be worried about a woodstove so close to a piano :cheese:

Oh, and forget the piano. It doesn't actually exist. I just thought it looked great in the picture.

Now that's funny. Perhaps I'll start adding pretend cool furniture pictures around my house - I'll save a bundle! Cheers!
 
This thread inspired me to do some renderings of my own setup. as well as a bunch of downtime at work.

unfortunatly i do not have such a nice piano as the original poster does, to include!

That couch doesn't look comfortable.
 
LOL. Cool visualization CNH. Actually the top of the flue looks too close to the ceiling. I'd drop it down at least a foot, more if this is single wall.

Thanks, Its amazing what the software can do nowadays, the true rendinger pro's would laugh at these renderings, but I thought they came out pretty good for a quick pass.

as for the stove pipe being close to the ceiling, it actually is pretty close, but not that close, its about 8" away with double wall pipe.
 
I like a larger margin of safety and visually, the high pipe thimble looks a bit awkward to me.

[I am doing my research and planning for a woodstove. I am trying to simulate how the stove might look and work. So I mocked up a 3D rendering below showing the first floor of my house with the woodstove installed using an existing fireplace in the living room.

What program are you using for your 3D lay out?

looks like the OP was using this Autodesk Dragonfly Pretty cool free layout program

For my rendering I used Autodesk Revit architecture.

I was using floorplanner.com. It is a free program (for the trial version).
It took me a couple of hours to climb the learning curve, but it was fun, and you can't beat the price!
