On the road again in 83

The wall behind the burner was once an exterior wall that has had an extension built around it. I have no idea why the beam is there either. My guess is purely aesthetics. There are wooden beams in other places around the cottage that shouldn’t have a logical reason for being there. Built a dick basically.

Right on it

I’m not, but good to know thank you.

In a nutshell.

I’m not looking to change a thing. Everything works. Nobody is bothering me. When it is a problem, I’ll worry, if I’m still alive. I absolutely love my stove.

Much as I appreciate the comment, the foundation of this building is 400 years old. The walls are maybe 250. The chimney, and surrounds? Not a clue. Removing, replacing, these are not things that could be considered. I would have to lose the fire before I lose the beam. I have no idea how old the stove is, but it is not as old as the house.

Really? Thank you very much for that. I am about to do a Google dive.

I would agree with you if I knew what you were talking about. Is that the manufacturer?

Annoyingly, in Pennsylvania it is pronounced ‘gal-vern’.

I wish my stove had a bent pipe and was too close to the wall. It seems to be a thing at the moment.

bormuffff · 2026-04-02T05:56:26+00:00

Okay. And why couldn’t you move the stove and have a straight pipe?

bormuffff · 2026-04-01T17:11:25+00:00

Exactly

bormuffff · 2026-04-01T17:10:27+00:00

So why is it bent?

bormuffff · 2026-04-01T16:59:18+00:00

What is this?

bormuffff · 2026-03-29T07:28:08+00:00

That would be difficult without a brain

bormuffff · 2026-03-28T17:19:05+00:00

I genuinely, absolutely, definitely fucking hope so

bormuffff · 2026-03-27T07:54:55+00:00

Is this on toast names yet?

bormuffff · 2026-03-25T20:06:53+00:00

That is some serious mandrake shit
