Love The One You're With
Wed Nov 28 2012

  I have been engaging in a particularly intense series of detailing days at my soon to be new home. It hasn't been lived in for a year, and was in sad need of . . . tender loving care…in ALL its nooks and crannies. And thanks to my raging case of OCD, brought on by my uncertain future, I have become familiar with each and every one of said crannies….. and nooks. Mr. P and I installed the new stove board under the old Fireview wood stove the other day. It looks great. I'm very happy. Now I admit, it's no Ironheart stove. But it's the one I'm with. And it warms the house just dandy.       Here is is just after I had mopped the floor:     From this angle, it looks like it has a bustle. That's the fan that blows the warm air around. A very handy thing to have on a wood stove. And in honor of my bonding…. with the stove I have…. I give you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5IVuN1N6-Y   Enjoy.

    I've not seen a stove like that before. It looks like it will hold a pretty sizable load and so nice that you can see the fire..... always cheerful on a gray, gloomy day. Have you a projected move in date?

    the song made my day -- really had to laugh as I don't expect the stove (or you) would be very happy in the southern CA clime :)) -- it is made for cold weather! Looks VERY sturdy!! And does the stove have a name? All those stoves have/need names. My husband's aunt's stove had "Alice" printed in iron on the front .... :))
