MHG, Can ya hear me, Hello?

Youuu raahhhhhnnggggggggg ??......ummmmmmmmmmm !!! ( in my best Lurch imitation )

You must have IM turned looowww!

Gonna post a pick in a second or so! Dial Up/HaHaaa

HUBBY IS WORKING TONIGHT. He knows I hate too much wood inside the house at one time. This is way too much! But, yet, because it is sleeting and snowing, he brought in to be helpful! Not Helpful! Do you know how many critters can crawl out of that pile while I'm reading Joe Hill(stephen king's Son Book) Way too many! And my slipper has a crush them maximum!

Okay, love you guys! Cuz, that's what I do best!

And show me a pick of your wood stove!

Just like a woman....bitchin' when you're cold.....and bitchin' when you're warm.....

...pictures to follow....lol

lisaann, what kinda floor is that stove on?

And why does it have the funny hump on the back half of the top?

Bean,
thanks for the sympathy! I just butterflied it closed. I took him in yesterday since it just wasn't 'sealing' properly. Doc said I should have gotten him stitches (have to do it in the first 24 hours...now too late *sigh*). But it will be OK anyway. We found a shoe from older brother that fits over the bandage and has NO flex. So he wears that during the day. Point being, he can now RUN AROUND THE HOUSE! Fussy boy has been replaced with my sweet boy. DH and I feel much better!

Hi alasken! My goodness, that poor baby! Hope it all heals well!

Anyway, that stove is sitting on the concrete floor of my basement, and that hump is there for frying stuff in a pan and the flat part, keeps things warm, and guess what, some ants found their way out of the wood and into Lucky's food and now Hubby's cleaning the bowl out, and I had the decency not to say, "I told ya so!"

Still crappy weather here, but not bad enough that I couldn't get to work, but alot of people come from an hour away, so they couldn't come.

I'm waiting on the pic, MHG, Is Liz in charge, or Dave?

dave's not here, or in charge

lisaann, and there I was thinking that the floor was maybe cork...it seemed the right color for cork. LOL

So then is the flat part sticking out, not directly on top of the stove?

My stove has the entire top flat.

blah blah blah

Alaskan, Just post a pic and be done with it! HaHaHa

By the way, that stove was handmade my dad's best friend a long time ago. Used to be at my grannies and now is mine! We love that stove!

you have taken good care of it....mine has over-heat marks on it.

I know I know! (on the pics) I will try to get my rear in gear and do another picture taking extravaganza soon!

MHG's stove


We heat our old farm house with wood exclusively except for my studio that has a heat pump/ A/C unit. Lopi wood stove that kicks butt!

Purty. *batting eyelashes icon* I'm guessing that plug-in is for a fan... ?

MHG, it *is* pretty...but where does the smoke go? straight out the back? Not up?

Also, pretty walls (we have wood walls too), but they seem a bit close to the stove.

alaskan,

Glad your boy will be ok & he's happier now, which makes everyone happier!

Nicce stoves, guys! I wish I had one, or even a fireplace!

Anyone want to post pics of their fireplace to make me even MORE jealous?

My friend has a stove that looks kinda like those, but it burns tiny pieces of coal, which they buy somewhere, and another friend has a pellet-burning stove.

I think if I got one someday, I would prefer wood, even with the critters!

Any opinions on the different kinds of fuel?
