Re-Installing the old Swiss Kachelofen (Wood Stove) in the Small Cabin

The "kitchen" becomes a handy workshop.

Sheetmetal worker Urs making insulation boxes for where the
chimney goes through the wall.

The chimney needs to be carefully insulated from the wood.

The stove has been cleaned up and polished.
This little Kachelofen from Switzerland has thick
 walls of fire brick. Once it is heated up it radiates
heat for half a day after the fire has gone out.

A very flashy stainless steel chimney was custom
built to replace the old, rusted out chimney.

Clean-up, Clean-up, Clean-up

There is always a lot to clean up and put away.
This is the space recently vacated by the tool shed on wheels.

This almost looks like a camper with a bump-out.

Urs splitting some of the accumulated wood for use
in the small wood stove, soon to be re-installed
in the cabin.

This should keep us going for a while.
