Jonathan used his last personal day and took the day off. We started the day off in Lincoln, hello Menards. We got the last few things we thought we would need to hook up the stove. Then we went shopping (the relaxing kind). We checked out the thrift stores and an antique store we hadn't been too. Then we went and had BBQ for Jonathan's birthday lunch.
Next we headed over to Beatrice. Before we went to work, we wanted to check out the two antiques stores in town. That was really fun. At the last one we found boxes and boxes of hardcover science fiction books. We I am sure you guessed that we couldn't pass that up. We wished that we could have bought more of them. But if we are lucky, they will still be there next time we go.
Over at the house, it was time to start working on the stove. The first order of business was the pipe in the chimney. It wasn't quite in there the way that it needed to be. So we messed around with that (Back UP on the roof... oh, no) and got that to be more like it needed to be. Then we took the stove out of the box. These things are heavy. But we got it in place and started planning how to do the pipe to connect it with the T. We were able to almost finish it. Too bad that last pipe couldn't have been just a little bit longer. But we needed to stop there for the night.
Here is the stove setting on the hearth pad and ALMOST hooked up to the pipe in the chimney.
