With winter looming, and home energy prices continually rising, I thought it would be a good idea to install a log burning stove.<\/p>\n

First the old fireplace had to be removed and the hole enlarged. Hearth and tiling done, followed by the flue liner, then the stove put in place!<\/p>\n

Halogen down-lighting installed on a dimmer, remotely operated using LightwaveRF (more on this in another post).<\/p>\n

At this point the cats were let back into the room. CleoCat was rather confused as to what the new addition to the living room was, until I lit a small fire.<\/p>\n

\"LogFire07\"<\/a> \"LogFire10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next the wooden lintel was installed, and the walls re-plastered. Once it was dry, wallpaper applied and some tidying up. Log fires are great for warming both feet and cats.<\/p>\n

\"LogFire08\"<\/a> \"LogFire11\"<\/a>\"LogFire09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is definitely one of the best things I’ve spent my money on. It’s fantastic relaxing in front of the fire with the girlfriend (and the cats), with a glass (or bottle) of wine.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it’s probably better for the environment than the gas fire was too, assuming the wood is sourced from re-planted forests. (or fallen trees and old pallets!)<\/p>\n\n\n
