Got time on my hands today, so here is a whole montage:

Upstairs wood burner before

To make an omelet, you need to break a few eggs...and rip out a few walls...

Getting closer (skip ahead through a couple months of late nights and weekends...)

Total remodel and ready for Christmas

Halloween:

Gasser in the basement - before was just a blank wall.

Core drilling the flue pipe through the block / chimney of the masonry FP upstairs

First fire to check it all out

A little sheetrock hung

Getting closer

Christmas

For most of us in the Midwest and the East Coast, its been cold and wicked outside lately. Snowed all day Sunday and supposed to start again this afternoon. Temps have been between 2 and 5 today, with highs not supposed to break above 20 until Friday. Welcome to Wisconsin winter huh?

So with that being the case, the wood stove has been earning it's keep. As usual it's a beautiful 75 inside.

Let's see what you guys have going! I'll start:

I LOVE that kettle on the stove. Where did you get it?

Cracks me up how many animals show up in the shared photos. The shot I shared was a "promo.", kitties in workrooms are generally frowned upon. But it's my shop and 2 kitties have their very own special beds here. (should I have clicked "thumbnail" before I posted the shot?)

Thanks, he's always popular! I got him from Amazon. Holds plenty of water and the steam comes out his nose. Here is another picture and the link on Amazon.

Yes! That's where I went to after. Comes to $100 but will be a great conversation piece!

 

[begreen]

Yes, the shipping to Canada is pricey.

That's a cool looking stove. What make and model is it?

Jotul F55. Possibly my next purchase. I got to see one at the dealer today. Very nice.

Enviro Boston 1700. Minus 10 tonight!

 

[BrotherBart]

Those Bostons are really nice looking heaters.

This is the stove in my workroom (in front of some of my work).....the thermostat kicks on and warms the space to 58-60F at 5:30AM and I light the stove at 6AM. Once the stove is rocking along, I may reload mid-morning if it's really cold, but oftentimes I don't bother. The space is always comfy, painting dries quickly, and I don't have to burn a lot of wood or break the bank to use the furnace. I absolutely love this stove... my favorite offering from Woodstock. It's not for everyone but I was sad to learn the Classi has been "retired". I love its clean lines and way the soapstone has been showcased. Quiet, elegant, and unassuming.

Beautiful room! With that stove I'm sure the furnace would never come on if you didn't want it to; Maybe you need to heat other areas of the house? I bet that solid stone front throws massive radiation when the stove is crankin'! BTW, we will need close-up pics of some of your favorite "works."

Jotul F55 Carabassett. Love it.

 

[Mainely Saws]

-3 degree's outside & the Hampton 300 keeping us warm ..................

 

[clark77]

0 degrees here and my regency is struggling. I think its ready for the handoff to the bigger jotul f55

seems that we are having a longer cold snap than we did last year.

 

[Knots]

-22F this morning.



The Carrabassett is pushing back...

 

[NinjaTech]

Only down to 14 here last night. Tomorrow's high is 65!

Lots of awesome stoves out there. Mine burned out yesterday afternoon when I forgot to haul wood into the garage before going to work for the night. Wife wasn't as keen on the idea of hauling a bunch as I was. Had to let the furnace take over for a while until I woke up this morning.

55F outside. I'd show the heatpump but it's pouring rain right now. So here is a shot from earlier in the season.

Have the temps by you dropped again begreen? The temps here just broke into the double digits a while ago, and not supposed to get much better for a few days. 77 in the house now, 12 outside.

Even better than that.....I just got my gas bill and it's only $25 higher than during the warm months. Needless to say, the furnace has been getting very little exercise.

 

[begreen]

No, it was 51F overnight and it's already 57F! These are typical May temps. Bees are starting to come out and the grass is starting to grow quickly. Crazy weather.
