fire in the hole!

almost as exciting as our favorite ride at silver dollar city! almost. but definitively more exciting than dressing up in old cowboy and salloon-y type garb for an old time photo. ok. maybe equal amounts of exciting.

first, joren in the hole.

the stove, up on blocks, atop the wheely cart.

measure twice, hook the stove up once.

apparently, the instructions from denmark were less helpful than you might imagine. danes. i won't go into the details (mostly because i A. don't understand them and B. don't care) but joren spent about 100 hours researching how to hook an insanely heavy, danish stove to a NON MASONRY WALL. i am so tired of pretending to listen to things about NON MASONRY WALLS. it's exhausting!

and... we have fire.

for safety reasons, we've kicked some of the cardboard out of the way and broomed back the sawdust a foot or two.
