While i am not in the habit of calling my space a basement... it's my studio and office!.. it still is very much a basement. it gets cold down here in the winter!!! jim has been researching wood burning stoves. we polled some people on the pros and cons, but let me tell you, these new stoves are built right! clean burning when run properly, toasty warm, and doesn't seem to generate the dust which was one of the 'cons'.
well, it arrived and was installed this past thursday, and what a fabulous investment!! three guys came early and went to work.. of course, kona puupy was more than eager to help!
the chimney goes through the ceiling of the studio, up through the laundry room, the attic and finally outside. it was fascinating to watch. thay have all these cool little devices for finding the location of the joist beams
one guy worked from the top down and the other guys assembled the chimney going up. the foreman guy must have been joking when he told me they'd be done by 2:30 after arriving just shortly after 8 am, because they were done and gone by noon! And here she is, in all her glory and warmth!!
we were told (and really weren't expecting) for this little baby to heat the entire house, but by golly... she does!! looks a little lonely there now. the three of us have found ourselves sitting on the floor down here every evening since. next, we're going to get a couple of cool floor rockers we saw at the furniture store. kona LoVes lying in front of the fire! --and so do we! as things progress, we'll be doing some stone work behind the stove, along with the rest of the finishing that needs to go on down here. all in good time, i suppose!
last night, three more guys arrived with a truck load of seasoned wood.... looks like we have plenty enough to get us through the winter!!
a few weeks ago, i bought a futon couch for my office. it's perfect!!!! makes for a cozy little space to sit when looking through books and such. now jim says it's a lot nicer to come down and visit me! when i bought it, it was covered in a black cloth. i ordered a nice cover for it which arrived on the same day as the stove.. how handy!

Hi Teri.
Your basement studio looks justlike my basement studio here in Maine! Do you look at your burner too??? Nice aesthetic touch... My little windows look out on the cove though and that is where my eye heads.. AND we just ordered a stove too! It won't go in until next May when I come back.
Pete has been working on getting mine fixed up and a little more work freindly.
He built a large table that looks like yours but I love the idea of the wheels!
Looks like you are pretty busy!
hi vicky!!!
yeah.. crazy busy.. but with lots of good stuff. i don't think i could have managed another winter down here without some serious heat, and now i have it!! hard to work with cold fingers, ya know?
we've got a ways to go before it will be finished down here, but for now it suits me just fine.. who can complain!! i did manage to get my table cleared the other day.. that always feels good. we're hoping to have french doors and more windows in a few months, then we can finish the ceiling and floor. charles was just here and he mentioned how comfortable it is becoming down here. i absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!!
