The Heating System

These little stoves were used a lot in the 1940's and 50's. Some people call them trash burners.

They have a small wood box with cast iron grates and a removable ash bin below. There's a damper for controlling the heat path, a small warming oven and two removable lids in the cast iron top. They can be used for light cooking.

We found this one at a local recycling yard.


Well, that's where we're at folks. The Hilton it ain't and you'll never see this little house in the glossy home magazines. Still we've had a lot of fun building it. We still have the siding to do and some other things as well. But it's usable and a charming little place to spend some time close to nature.

PS - Building this was a great experience for our family. We've spent about $1400 to date ($10 per SF).
