The cabin is too small for a masonry fireplace, or for any sort of wood-burning stove, not to mention the hauling and storage of firewood. So, we're installing a gas-burning (propane) fireplace. It will vent straight up through the attic and the roof, through a concentric stove-pipe that is combustion exhaust through the inner pipe (4"), and combustion air intake through the outer pipe (7").

| Demolishing the wall-board and exposing the studs. |
We are placing it on the wall that separates the kitchen, living room and hall, which is the center-point of the main level. We removed the drywall and some of the stud material, so that it protrudes as little as possible into the limited hallway space available. Once the stove-pipe is set, we'll frame around the sides and above the front of the fireplace, and put our rooster painting above the fireplace. We're adding a ceiling spot-light directed at the rooster.
