Ok, I'm in. Some very nice stoves you folks have there. So this here is mine, a self install.
Bet you haven't seen it before :p.

It has been GSD approved, although she prefers to play in the snow where it's cooler.
To the bottom left is a cash register for the electric company. And recently for the state in form of monetary penalties for using over 1000 kwh/mth. It has been powered off since February 2012 and will be replace with wood soon. Each room in the house has one but I will keep a few installed just in case the Harman needs servicing during a cold snap.

The system below will keep the heat going if the power fails. Oh and it runs air conditioning in the summer too. ;)

Oh, I have severe solar envy. I do. Right now our cost per kwh from the power company is lower than what we'd pay to generate our own via solar, but I do love the emergency back up features of solar. It runs your a/c as well? Solar assisted heat pumps/ac units are showing up here. I don't know how they operate or how they are doing vs. our summers. (It gets hot here.) If you don't mind me asking- how much of your household load will your system handle, and how much did it cost you to install? We have a well pump at the river... and an unimpeded roof... :)

P.S. that is a gorgeous GSD as well, and oh yeah, your pellet stove is nice too. :)
 
I also have solar envy. My next house will have it :)

Thank you. Full East German and she is a character.
The solar was designed for backup power with a little extra kick to run some AC appliances. I take full advantage in the summer when power is max. I left you a message with more detail.

Not the best looking stove on the market :eek: (Englander 25 PDVC), BUT it heats very good;).

Some times "looks" are a bit over rated;) bottom line you are nice and warm..
I like the pie safe.

Yes we are warm, my GF calls the stove "That UGLY little heat monster":rolleyes:

The pie safe was made by my Great Great Uncle, as a wedding present to my Grandmother in 1909.
 
Very nice Mr Spock... A little jealous, Not even a dog hair on that shiney floor!!

The XXV must have sucked it all up! There are several things she excels at, eating, pooping but mostly shedding. :)
