Installing our Jotul Direct Vent Sebago

We have pretty much finalized on the Jøtul GF 400 DV Sebago.  We just have to check all of the clearances now and make sure it will fit and won’t burn the house down. The PDF begins with “If the information in these instructions is

Comparing Vented Gas Stoves

We want to have a fire in an antique mantel we bought. We have concluded that the mantel will go on the outside wall and the fireplace will vent through the wall. We gave up on the idea of it looking like a fireplace, so

Comparing Vent-Free Gas Stoves

I kinda had my heart set on adding a gas fire to make our antique mantel look like a real old fireplace. But it’s just not working. Anything that will fit doesn’t put out much heat. With the clearances it says we need, they won’t

Pre-Fab Chicken Coops

When we were looking for a barn, we found a chicken coop. More and more of our neighbors are raising chickens. We hear roosters from every direction in the morning and we see chickens in fenced yards every time we walk the dog. The Chicken

Comparing 12 x 12 Sheds and Barns

We’ve decided to put in a 12′ x 12′ storage building because we won’t have to worry about permits and it will fit beside the house. We’ve compared the buildings from Tuff Shed that we can get through Home Depot. Now we are comparing these
