Well i have got the siding on one end and a bit on one side, Door is done and new handle.
Still lots to do
Slow going too many other things to do. Hope to finish the siding before the snow flys. Electrician is here i a week or two to do the wiring after that the styrofoam and t&g plywood on the floor .
I do have the wood stove installed. It is a large homemade unit I got from my aunt. It weighs 400 lbs or more. We had it stored in a shed near my sawmill . A week ago we went in with a small flatbottomed outboard boat to bring it out. we had it on a sled across the gunwalls of the boat. We got to the wharf to hoist it up with the winch. My friend steped into the ladder on the side of the wharf to climb up and let down the winch hook. When his weight came of the boat on one side the stove shifted on the sled and in the blink of an eye stove sled and I were swimming. Stove sank sled floated and I had to swim to the side of the boat and get pulled aboard by my friend. Very lucky stove did not hook my clothing on the way down. We waited untill the tide fell later that afternoon and let down a hook and after many tries we got it back on the wharf.
Alls well that ends well. My mom happened to be nearby and saw the whole thing she was not impressed. That water was cold

I’ve heard you’d have to have a hell of a lot of dust to cause a fire with a wood burner. I think it’s a good idea…...... and great story. I bet every time you put a piece of wood in the stove, you’ll think about your encounter.
