I know it's a lame post, but I'm really excited! We finally got our new woodstove all hooked up tonight. It's a thing of beauty! My parents paid for the stove for us as a very generous Christmas gift for the next 10 years or so! Stuart made a deal with a buddy for the huge peice of "butterfly" granite underneath it. We have a couple more things to add--the side "warming" plates and the back guards, but it's usable like this.
The stove is a Valiant Defiant! It's so much better than our old stove and way prettier! It burns more efficiently, less ash, less smoke, way longer burn time from the same logs with way more heat. Our bedroom has always been freezing cold, it's toasty tonight!
The cats love it. I moved some of their beds to in front of it and Paxil has taken up residence beside it.
I've never been so happy about an appliance!
