Last weekend, we were preparing to buy a SCAN woodstove from our local heating store. Due to prior negative experiences with this store owner, however, Jane would rather not buy from them. So, we also kept our eye on Craigslist. Suddenly, a Vermont Castings Resoulte II 0042 showed up for sale in Anchorage for $400. Jane convinced her dad to drive 1 hour from Wasilla to Anchorage to check it out. We offered the seller $250 for the woodstove and it was accepted. This woodstove was gifted to us by Jane's dad. THANKS DAD!!!
Being that it is a 26 year old woodstove, there are a couple of little issues that need to be addressed. Primarily, we have a problem with the flue damper in that its a bit loose and kinda falls apart when opened and closed. Jane is workin on it though.
Eli worked on the roof this weekend with the help from some neighbors (Pete and Jospeph). All the metal sheathing was successfully installed!!! Just a little more work left to do up there. And then, we can focus on the interior stuff and installing the woodstove!
