Stokin' it Up!


暖炉を初めて使ってみることに・・・

The exciting time...

Religious ceremony?
No no no.

First time to use our fireplace!

For Bill, it's really special 
because he DIY-ed almost all as you witnessed here.

And for me, it's really special 
because this is my very first fireplace to own.



煙突のふたを開けて、煙の逃げ道を作ります
火の粉が上がらなくなり、薪が真っ赤になったら煙突のふたを半分に閉めます
ふたの開け閉めは暖炉の中にある部品で


おーー、ちゃんと正座してる!
日本に来るまではできなかったのにね

この日から、帰宅して毎晩数時間は薪を焼べています
これで光熱費削減に期待!!

Hi guys,

The fireplace/living room is turning out even more awesome than how I imagined it! It's so unique yet very "homey"... what a great place to relax after finishing your taxes, too!

Thanks Adam. It's an exciting time for us. And it's very special and memorable that we can look back in some years. Slowly but surely..., thanks to handy Wild Bill.
