Could i see some pictures of your finished installs please ???

[kevinrea]

i have been looking around this site for a few days now.
i have a CFM FW240007 stove that i am going to install.
i am trying to make it look nice to please my wife.
she does not want a fireplace install, likes the way our house looks.
but, i am tired of paying for Propane to heat the house.

anyway, if you guys could put up some pics of your finished installs, then i could get some more ideas.

i am putting it in this corner of our living room..(messy)

thanks,

Kevin, you can get some great ideas from the photo gallery. Look for the link in the upper left hand corner of the homepage. The picture changes from a holzhausen to a stove etc. Also, if you've already been there, my bad. Good luck with that install. I'm working on mine sporadically.

Not to throw water on you or anything, but you're forgetting the number 1 rule.

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE!

There are lots of corner additions in the photo sections though. But if you think your wife doesn't like it now, wait till you start building it.

sometimes, the husband has to take control of what is best for the household..
and..., sometimes the wife has to...

in this case...she will be happy in the long run.

30cal,

That's looking good. Be proud of your work, you did well! Enjoy your new room--it will be cozy and warm with that beautiful stove.

Not a corner install but an easier install against sheetrock. Primary heater.
