Woodstove

With the wall done, I ordered the tile for the hearth. Now I need to get the the floor ready for the tile. First I cemented the 1/2" cement board in place.


Next I cut the edge trim to fit.

Below is the tile. 17" x 17" (the biggest tile I have ever layed)

All done and ready for the wood stove.


The stove arrived today. A very exciting day!


It looks great! There is nothing like a nice fire on a cold winter's day.

As soon as I lit the fire, Elroy came over and sat beside the stove.

.

I have enough wood for a little while.


Now I am working on the upstairs bathroom. Why is it there is always a 2x4 right where you need to install the water valve. Its got to go.

Water valve is installed with plumbing to the shower head and tub.

The tub is in place.

Starting to put up the cement board.

Dennis and I have been watching your progress and we are very impressed. Your home looks very cosy with the addition of your fireplace. Den is anxious to view your home in person but is certain the summer months will be the best time. Take care and keep up the great work. Love Dennis and Marina

I'd really like to see pix of when you did your wall. Do you have any? I'd like to see because, I'm installing a woodburning stove, clearance wall and base in my LR.
