Here it is custom artwork and andirons: Very excited to get the news it was done! Now just have to store it somewhere until the house is finished at the end of October. Broke ground this week! Hole is all dug and ready to go. Oh and even more exciting is I got my long awaited promotion at work to production manager too! Livin life on a high of excitement to say the least!!
Very nice design, glad to hear good things are happening. You'll love the heat that stove can put out. The IS won't disappoint!!
That's awesome Sconnie Burner! New stove, new house to put it in, and a promotion! Congrats across the board.
Its going to seem like a year, especially that last week!! Have an idea of what I'm going to do just need to finalize the location.
congratulations! if you have a basement in your new house plans put in a duct line from basement to top heated zone to balance your house temps..
The stove will be installed in the basement. The basement will be all framed ready for sheetrock. So I may intall floor vents before I close the ceiling up to allow the heat to rise naturally instead of trying to move it all up the staircase by fans.
Will you have a backup system? all I am really suggesting is a couple 4 inch pvc pipes top you bottom in wall with hypo allergenic covers with a computer fans in them... bring heat down in winter and cool air up in summer cheap man AC..
Yes we will have a natural gas furnace as well. Im interested in what you are describing.... I think.... do you have a sketch? Are you installing these in the 2x4 walls through the sub floor?
4 inch won't fit in 2 by 4 wall 3 inch will... if you have N.G. furnace is it air or water?... if air your contractor can just add duct work and fan easy enough... if water 3 inch pvc.. with computer fans (very efficient) in several walls to high point top floor (heat rises) to basement area.. just to move air efficiently through levels
My FIL is a home builder, he trys to talk all his customers into framing the walls with 2x6 instead of 2x4. He says it only costs a couple thousand extra to do... insulation values are greater...and it increases wall rigidity alot...you'd be surprised how much 2x4 walls deflect when you push hard on them (like trying to seat a tight fitting electric meter) and if the electrician or plumber drills a hole in the stud...a 2x6 still has a lil meat left, unlike with a 2x4. Point is, going 2x6 you'd have room for 4" pipe...which will flow a fair amount more air than a 3" pipe (almost double) the area of a 3" pipe is 7.065"...a 4" pipe is 12.56"...big difference
been on enough construction jobs where they have no idea how to balance heat in an area. then things get finished including the expensive woodwork interior and they have to be torn up some to get another duct installed. it's worthwhile thinking the thing out beforehand. for my purposes i would not do much extra if the stove were in the basement, as heat rises, particularly if it were acceptable to leave the basement door open. others would have different requirements. congrats on your personal good fortune.
Well... got the call, well actually my pops, that it will be delivered to his work place tomorrow!!!. Might have to do a paint curing fire or 2 while I wait for my house to finish getting built. Footings and walls are getting poured this week!
