Greetings! everyone, here are some pictures from 2009's big project out in Wolcott, Vermont. These are the last ones I took before my camera stopped working, and the work has since been completed and cleaned up, and a lot more progress was made with the rest of the house. So I'll be hoping to get some better pics when a new camera comes into my life. The picture above is the first fire in the semi-circular double-bell (masonry heater) that sits slightly above and back-to-back with the Rumford fireplace you will see in the pictures below. This project also includes a hearth for a wood-burning cookstove and hookups for small wood stoves into the chimney upstairs, one in each bedroom. Essentially, it is a huge tower right in the center of a 12-sided home.

Nothing like cooking with wood fire too!
What you'd see (before finished floor) from the kitchen, or from the hearth of the fireplace.
Wish I could keep it!
