Is it Christmas again??

Grandma Sandra and Shane went to Silverdale today to get some things for the house. While there, she decided to buy Nathan an early birthday present! A new guitar. He has really needed one since his last one..um....was smashed. Long story.
While there, she also decided to buy a power washer for herself, but it will stay here. Niice!
Can't wait to get to work on the deck and house with it!

The biggest present?? A surround for our wood stove!!! So exciting to finally have a wood stove
installed.


She gave us this cast iron wood stove last month. When we first moved back to Washington, our neighbors were losing their home and sold this stove to Sandra for 50.00! She has kept it all these years and during our last power outage, remembered that she still had it. Since her new home has one, we were the lucky recipients. For our Christmas present, she offered to buy all the piping etc. for us. The only hitch is.....we don't know anything about the stove.
There is no make/model or company information on the entire thing.


It's a scary looking beast. Right now, it's sitting among our rescued items from the basement so I apologize for the mess. Have you ever seen a stove like it? I am curious as to how old it is and where it is from. Needless to say.....I am looking forward to another power outage to try it out!!

That looks completely fascinating. You could cook on it and in it perhaps....So many possibilities.
