Just bought a house a few months ago with the wife, with the requirments that i get a nice sized yard, basement, garage and oh yeah a fireplace! (no garage yet but three out of four aint bad) House needed total renovation and after touching every single square inch five times over i have made my way to the fireplace. Silly wife wanted a kitchen and bathroom first.
Been burning since i can remember when i still lived with the parents. My chores included but werent limited to, splitting, stacking, stoking and ash duty. of course now that i own one i get to do the felling and bucking too, not half bad.
Decided to post pictures of the install this past weekend. Not quite finished but should be all wrapped up come this weekend.
