  • Finally moving into the stone house after 7 months of work! Installing the coziest off-grid heating, a used good old german quality woodburner.

    Beautiful! I love your new woodstove, but you should make sure to get a carbon monoxide alarm to help keep you safe.

    Let me give you a great advice about cleaning the oven windows, that I got from my chimney cleaner. After you have burned some wood use a wet paper towel and dip it into the ashes. Use that to clean the windows. It gets alkaline and works as a peeling. It's almost free and has great results

    Hi Maya, this looks amazing!please be fire safe: install a fire alarm high on the wall and a carbon monoxide alarm low on the wall. A fire extinguisher for wood burning fires isn't that expensive and can save you so much money if you need to use it!

    You are such a force of a woman and I admire your determination and passion.
    It is a good day to celebrate that your in your home. Next step I gather is 1 or 2 more rooms for you.
    You really should and do deserve them.
    Xxx 💕

    A warm, private room with a view. The heater will help to dry out the room even further. Crack a window during the day to allow fresh air in. As the room is now better insulated and less drafty, have a carbon mon/dioxide monitor handy to verify there is sufficient replacement room air for complete combustion. The stone walls and tiles will help to radiate some heat. This room has some focal points: heater, windows, balcony. Great that your family drove it from Germany to your place.
    The wooden cabin is a visitor's retreat. Or a spare utility cabin.
    Continue to remove the vines and brambles to reveal the wonderful retaining walls. Some structural fill-in work may be required.

    Hi Maya! Please by a Co worning device. It is very cheap and small. There is a chance to be intoxicated by CO. Especially if the oven is installed by people without special knollege. (No offence!) It is very easy to prevent the silent death of CO intoxication. Greetings from Norway. ❤

    Hi Maya, if you want that vine to grow around the post, you need to get rid of ALL the ivy that's growing around it. It will take over everything if you leave it to its own devices.

    What a wonderful job. You should be very proud! The wood stove is beautiful.
    We heat with a pellet stove insert in our fire place. I'm usually awake at 4:00 in the morning, a nagging remnant of 40 years working in a factory. Today the house was a little chilly so I increased the pellet feed a bit and was admiring the beautiful flames. I log onto the computer and there is your wood stove! Is there anything better than sitting by a fire?
    Thanks for all the time your putting into this content. Stay safe and stay warm!

    The wood stove I bought for my 1500 SF house in the us was 500 lbs or 227 kgs. It is made of cast iron and soapstone, The soapstone is green in color. I put a inline flue cooler to use the heat going up the exit pipe to also heat the house. I had 3 acres of which 1 1/2 was in woods which I used as a wood lot for fire wood and nut harvest.
