Lisa that is awesome! I always have trouble assembling the upper section on those. It isn't all that hard really I guess, I just never get it on the 1st try and I end up with furnace cement all over everything. The stove looks grest in the end and I look I was in the wrong place when the furnace cement factory blew up. Enjoy the project and the heat!!

What's under the stove? Looks like vinyl or linoleum. Do you put a hearth pad underneath?

36x52 type 2 pad Had a waterford 100b pulled off the pad for the Lange to go in, removed severe rain storm and creosote spatter spot on it to clean up bottom pad. After total rebuild of Lange I didn't want it to get, a storm going through, wet so , call me anxious(more like no space available inside for two stoves. One out one in.
