Today we had the pellet stove guy over. He showed up two hours early, which worked out very well for us, and was a very nice guy. We had no experience with pellet stoves, and so he walked us through everything. He cleaned the stove, made it work, and explained everything as he did it. So now we have heat. Hooray! We could redo the pipe, if we wanted to, but since we're not going to use it past this winter, we're not going to put the money in it. He did say that we could rehab the paint job and probably get some money for it if we decided to sell, which was nice. We had also been led to believe that we wouldn't be able to find parts for it, but he set us straight. Now we feel like we're on the right page with our pellet stove, and it's been burning all day. The rat hole no longer smells like musty old house, but like warm, slightly musty house. It's great. it's going to be so nice not to have to wear six shirts whenever we go work over there. Yay.
We also did some more work with the mud and drywall. Tomorrow we fix the sewer pipe, begin priming and painting the master bedroom, and begin work on the gutters. Once we're done with the painting, we'll probably put the carpet in, finish the gutters, get our money out of escrow, and start working on the electrical.
