heyvictor,
Very cool Curt!
Thank you!
Where did you get the plans for your masonry stove?
I bought them from Rob Roy (He runs the Earthwood Building School). He basically has the same model of stove in his house, except his is two stories.
That is on my "someday to do" list. My neighbors built one using a kit. It's a great way to heat. My internet connection crapped out on me while I was loading your pictures so I haven't seen the last few photos on your blog, does your stove have an oven in it?
Unfortunately it doesn’t. We are really starting to regret not putting one in. We are seriously considering adding on a room that will have a wood cookstove in it, though.
I cut waaaay too much wood and as I get older it's not as easy. I tore a rotator cuff in my shoulder a couple of years ago, it's pretty well healed now but that year was very tough getting wood.
I bet it is. When I was a junior in high school I had shoulder problems because of a football injury. It got to the point where my shoulder wouldn’t stay in its socket. So, I had to have surgery. It took a good year after the surgery to have full use of my shoulder and arm again.
I guess the building inspector is not a problem for you there? or does the code where you live ok a cordwood building?
Actually he is pretty open to it. The inspector said that we are paying him to teach him about cordwood building. Nice, huh?
Take care,
Curt
