Christmas Hearth

Scott and I spent the Christmas holiday in, yep, Torrey. We had a short list of things to do...all of them related to preparation for a spring plaster festival. (Extra hands, energy and heart are always always welcome to join us.)

The most exciting event of the entire week was arriving to discover Wade had completed the facade for our Tempcast stove.

This is what greeted us when we first arrived.

Wade came over to make sure we were happy with his work. Who wouldn't be. It is absolutely beautiful. You can find more of Wade's work here.

It kept us toasty night after night, just as advertised. It is entirely possible that this stove could warm the entire house even without the radiant heat in the floor. However, I'm sure we'll be glad to have both systems in place.
