we have had an incredibly labor intensive 2 weeks doing a MAJOR reno on my son's condo repairing damage from a water leak (new layed of 3/4 sturi-floor, underlayment, new cabinets (my wife had him order unfinished, so we finished them (solid wood (cherry) faces and solid plywood carcasses). We got the new flooring done yesterday and it looks great (as well as being waterPROOF). I kind of fell asleep in the chair before bed so my wife loaded up the stove. I went to bed and woke up at 12:30 in a puddle of sweat! Apparently there was no need to load 50 pounds or well cured oak into the stove!
