Lost Weekend At The Beach
Accomplished nothing on the house last weekend and had a nice relaxing beach weekend with the fam. instead, which is probably for the best considering how things are going on Clark Creek. Yesterday's visit to the woodstove dealer in town confirmed what the installer told us last Thursday (his 3rd visit, hello!), that the woodstove pad we had specially purpose built probably isn't big enough to be to code for anything but a stove the size of a common house cat. Now we have to figure out how to get our floor/pad up to code. Do I try to hunt down the contractor and get him to enlarge the pad? Do we want a raised pad that extends almost halfway across the room? Should we tile the whole durned room and call it good? More fact finding missions to the county records building and the woodstove place planned for today's lunch.
If we do end up buying a new stove (current one circa 1982), it will probably be an ENDEAVOR, made by Lopi.

Woodstove Store Man confirmed what I feared - that we either had to lay cement board and tile in front of the pad, or get the contractor out to take up even more of the room with raised pad. He did say, however, that a sheet if 1/2" cement board drilled into the floor in front of the pad will get us a stove installed.
After conferring with my better half, we decided to go that route. It will look tacky as heck, but the kid can go back to his own room if we get the stove going, and we can lay the rest of the board and tile as time and money allows.
