But it is HOT in here! We installed a fireplace insert with fan this weekend. It heats the entire house, usual temp 70-74! (Upstairs 69 degrees.) By mid afternoon I have on flip flops and a tank top...lol This performs better than anticipated. Check it out...

Our friend Allen built this from left over pine that he had. The drop in sink came from The Habitat Restore. I have to stain and poly the wood and tile the top. Then we'll install the front cabinet handles, sink faucet and drain. We had him custom build it because the room used to be a bedroom and the baseboard heater (must have them by code) makes a tight squeeze. You can see the built-in book shelf to the left. Looks a little funky, but the more storage, the better.
