Oslo Install

[M1Greg]

Wow. Last week was a busy week! I pulled the old stove out last week in preperation for our new Oslo. (1st pic)
Coming home from work and seeing the progress has been fun. The pedestal was built and installed (2nd pic) The tilework was started (3rd pic) Tile down and set. Nice corners! (4th pic) Detail work around the stone. Finesse! ( 5th pic)

The grouting was done yesterday and tommorow the liner and stove will be installed.

Looking good! That will be an awesome setting for the new stove. Did you undercut the stone in the wall to get the overlay effect?

That look a great site for your new Jotul.
Cant wait to see the photo when you get it fitted.

It looks like he used a scribe to gat that tight fit!

No undercut. I made that offer so the base could sit flush. The tile man just filleted the tile around the stone. Did a good job. Wife said he had to take quite a few breaks as he would get 7/8 of the way trough and the tile end would chip off! Time to back off and reassess my offer I bet. )

Well the stove is in! Wife called and said it looks great! The dealer did the first break in fire for us. And me, stuck at work!

Don't worry . . . you should have two more break in fires if you want to break it in properly per Jotul . . . the first fire is the smallest and least impressive so you didn't miss much.

Something to look forward to when you get home from work, should be ready for another breakin fire. Don't forget some pics.

I wish I would've had your tile guy do mine. My tile guy was pretty inept! :red:

Congrats on your Oslo!! I agree with Jake, the Oslo has a couple more break-ins to be ready to go, they were very exciting times for me too.
You will enjoy the heat you feel from a wood stove, nothing tops it!

Congratulations on your new Oslo! It gives you a whole new perspective of the onset of cold weather!
