Woodburner



My favourite feature of the whole renovation is the woodburner that we're going to have in the large open plan living space upstairs. Warmth, cosiness, guilt free hot water... Mmm... And it's finally arrived on site. It needs to be plumbed in for the wetback first and will then be installed.



I know I won't be able to wait until next winter to light a fire. The only question is whether I'll be able to wait until we move back in or whether the builders might find some of their planks have gone up in smoke... Better wait for the flue to be attached first though!



If anyone's considering a similar project, it's a Firenzo Contessa Rural fire. The emissions aren't as low as some of the urban models but it is possible to build up a big fire to keep it burning for longer - cutting down on alternative heating options overnight thanks to the heat exchange system that we've had installed in the loftspace.
