Hooray, it's in. Our new wood-fired stove was finally installed this morning. It will pump out enough heat to keep most of the house warm so we won't need to use the gas-fired central heating very much. The fuel comes from the branches left over from feeding the goats. They eat the leaves, twigs and bark. We have been building up a stock of fuel for three years so we have a good supply.
I'm really looking forward to lighting our first fire. That will be in a couple of days once the plaster has dried out.

Congratulations! I know this was long awaited for you. The warmth from the wood stove will be more satisfying than from the vents. Plus the glow of the fire really picks up the spirits on those dreary winter days.
It looks wonderful. I can imagine the kettle of hot water sitting on there, waiting for the tea pot.
