It's warm inside...at least for now.This

This weekend we spent trying to get heat temporarily in the house. It is tough to want to go out there and work when it is so cold!!! We got the pellet stove from Chris' dad and it may end up being what we use to run the radiant floor heat. Cost wise right now we just have to pay for the pellets and the electric and it is a warm 70 degrees.

The stove is sitting in the downstairs bathroom right now because we could vent it out that side without messing up the siding. We are building an outside room on the other side of this wall to put the boiler and equipment in it. The thought was that if we did use wood to heat the water then we would not have to haul the wood through the house.

Chris had to manufacture a duct to put on the top of the stove to help blow the air. This was made from some metal ducts that we already had in storage. We have been hauling them around for years!

This is what it ended up looking like when Chris was done. It did not take long at all to heat up the house!

The plumbing for the upstairs on the North side is done.

The upstairs bathroom is stubbed in. The vent still has to be ran though.

We didn't seem to get a whole lot done this weekend but with the help of heat things should go a bit quicker. If nothing else it will be nicer to work in a warm area when it is so cold outside.
