The calculation required for the room in which the stove with be fitted is:
(Length x Width x Height) / 15 = Output Required (kW)
All measurements should be in metres. If there is excessive heat loss from the room through windows, doors and stairways, a higher heat output would be recommended.

Here are some examples of flooring tiles. It would have been good to have kept all the original flagstones, but they are probably to rough and ready. Maybe there is a locally sourced alternative that has a finer finish.

I have started a set of pages that I am going to label up as “Scrapbook”. These are pages with photos and links to websites where I have been interested in their products. I will update them as I come across new products, but thought these might be useful for others.
So I am going to start with contemporary log stoves – nothing rustic about these – something clean and stylish for the main living space. There will be underfloor heating, so this is really just to top up the temperature a bit on the colder days.

Yes, you guessed it! More dry stone walling. The weather forecast was for a good day and we weren’t disappointed. Cold and dry. Problem was that it never got above freezing. The ground was solid, but the foundations had already been dug, so I wasn’t too worried. What I hadn’t planned for was the fact that all the stones had been frozen together. I gave it a few hours and even a bit of sun on the stones didn’t make much of a difference. Anyway, another 3-4 courses done today and I think another couple of days and we will be putting the coping stones on this section.
It has been a couple of weeks since we applied for planning permission and the notice was posted this week – it has been attached to the telegraph pole just outside the property.

Same location as the previous day’s dry stone walling. Today is cold – just above freezing – the water in the buckets from last weekend have an inch of ice in them. I only turned in a couple of hours as it was just too cold. These first few courses are the most difficult – they tend to have the biggest stones in them which take quite a bit of placing and fitting.
