New House - November 99 - Basement framing and Wood Stove

Work bench
Work bench
We started framing in the basement early in November.
About two-thirds of the basement was studded out to be used
as a pool room with a laundry room and bath in the far corner.
See the cellar plan for the latest diagram.
Needless to say, we put in a large and sturdy work bench.

We then installed the wood stove, setting it on an 18 inch
platform in the central core of the house. The double wall
chimney is 11 inches in diameter and snakes up through the
closet in the master bedroom, exiting at the peak of the roof.
The chimney is warm at the top of the stove, but touchable.
The upper part of the stove is also touchable.

The opening to the left of the stove is for access to
the wood hoist that will bring logs from the basement.
