Finally got my first time home-buyer credit check in the mail. I'm going to put it to good use and buy something that will get me another credit check in the mail
Going to go order the Kozyheat Z42cd tonight. I'll be doing the install myself.
The only thing I'm not 100% confident in is the masonry (hearth and tile around the fireplace). I've laid brick before, but never tile, I'm not sure how different it is. I guess I'll get some tile and cement board and try some tile work for practice before I go to work on the hearth. I still have plenty of time before winter gets here. I don't plan on needing the stove until the coldest of winter because my seasoned wood supply is pretty low (just decided to get the fireplace a month or so ago, up until that point it was just an idea).
I want to get the stove there first and just see how things look and then plan it all out before I start the work so I have plenty of time to read up on all the good articles.
