Clear, we swept and cleaned up once more, and then following big hugs and goodbyes, it was over.
After having small "break-in" fires for the first two weeks, Bev and Dick fired up their heater with a full load of wood and settled back to enjoy it.
"The warmth and the beauty of our new masonry heater adds to the lifestyle we love here in Vermont," Bev says. "The heater surface never gets too hot to touch, and the warmth it generates is like sunshine on a cloudy day. It saves us money, burns clean and keeps us warm and safe."
And Dick is content: "Now we can not only talk the talk, we can walk the walk, as they say."
