We have a Woodstove...YEAH!

After years of talking about getting a wood stove...it takes having a new baby to finally get one. And I am SOOOO excited to have a warm house. The last two winters I have lived in slippers and a robe (even over my clothes) to stay warm in the house. We keep our heater at a cozy 63 degrees and still would pay a nice expensive heating bill because of the size of our house and the type of heater we have....so since the new baby is arriving (any day) we knew we needed to have another heating source to keep him warm.

Last month I found a great wood stove online with free shipping and large enough to heat our house...or at least it says it will. Eric said just order it and we did! Ordering was the easy part...after a couple of weeks now of getting permits, inspections, figuring out the dimensions, laying the granite, spending lots of money on piping (who knew the piping would be so much), moving the 580 pound wood stove into the house (Thanks to all those strong guys who helped), Eric finally finished it last night at 2am. It looks awesome! The granite tile matches perfectly with our carpet and the stove looks amazing...and I am sure it will feel even better!

Can't wait to fire it up tonight!!!!! I guess I will have to learn how to start a fire now!

Thanks Eric for all your HARD WORK and thanks to all his friends who spent late nights installing pipes and tiles!

This baby boy can now come home to a WARM house...I joked with Eric that he wasn't going to come until the stove was done...now he has no more excuses!!!!
