Day 125

Because we discovered yesterday that our heating plans would not work well for us, Jonathan went to the fireplace store to check out some wood stoves and bring home some information for us to look over.

After supper we went over to the house to see just what it looked like behind the wall in the tower room.



After taking out the floor we had decided that there had been a fireplace here. But until Jonathan knocked a hole in the wall we didn't have any idea of what it would look like or if we were even right. But sure enough there behind the sheetrock and plaster we found bricks and a fireplace. Jonathan looked up and saw daylight through the chimney. This was a happy sight as we are now thinking of using this as our source of heat. We are looking into getting a wood stove and hooking it in through the chimney.


This is going to change our plans of sleeping arrangements as the girls had been going to be using this room as their bedroom. We will not have them sleeping in here with a wood stove. So now we are either going to be sleeping in this room. Or we will use this as our living/dining area. And either the girls or we would have to sleep in the main room. Still a lot to think about. For the new couple of days we will be learning all we can about these wood stoves so that we can make the right choice and start getting thing ready to heat the house during the winter months.
