Ny kamin

Ny kamin

Been busy over Easter installing a new kamin (wood heater/log fire) to replace the old one. The hole in the chimney had to be enlarged (a precise scentific process involving a hammer and chisel) and a new chimney pipe cemented in. The rökrör (smoke pipe) goes into the chimney pipe. Once all the sealants are dry, you can fire it up... but it smells terrible the first time, as all the chemical fumes come out - so you have to open all the windows... it's all working fine now, though, and the house is warm.

I'm living in the white house now, it looks great. Still in the commissioning stage as I'm fixing things here and there and working out where to put things. Next up: floor tiles...
