That stove is 'cosy warm'!

Had a day off work today and what a day! It started with a drive to B&Q in Halifax! Why? Well it was the only one in the area with the same oak cladding. We have decided to renew a large section which was oiled in Osmo Raw. We tried to sand it back but failed. Only option, get some more oak. Did I tell you that I am oak mad!!!

On our return to Ripon, we set about fitting the Morso Squirrel stove. We had to drill and plug holes to secure the stove. Fit the outside chimney and coolie hat. Fit the flue pipe and seal it all in with stove cement and flue mastic. I then left it to Dawn to prepare and light the inaugural  fire. It was lovely and toastie. Just in time for the colder weather ahead.

Warm....
