Even so, we are still not yet ready to install the big 21kw+ boiler stove that we are planning. In the meantime we have put in a little pot-bellied stove which lets us heat up the main room enough that it is possible to keep working in cold weather.
Brian has been making good progress with the main fireplace. He has cleaned off and out masses of tar, dirt etc. including three mice nests. He's replaced, repaired and cleaned the voussure stones. He's done loads of re-pointing, lined the flue and is currently infilling around the liner with vermiculite concrete.
