My wood stove project today
When we took possession of our house in 2023, this detached shop was just completely packed full of junk. Lots of good junk though too. Over the last few years I've been stripping it down and renovating it wall by wall, updating the electrical and whatnot.
This 1989 Regency R6 stove I picked up off of a renovation that I was doing in a cabin where the people didn't want it anymore. They never used it. The whole cabin has been modernized so they were just going to get rid of it. I scooped it up for $500 value in labor trade off. That's including everything from the stove right to the Chimney Cap.
So I replaced the old original airtight stove that they had out here with that Regency r6, but then when I started to stand back and look at that area I decided that I wanted to get the stove moved farther back towards the wall. So I decided to get a couple of 45s in a length of pipe and do this little project. Finishes off my office and creates a nice hearth, it's the stove move farther back.
Everything else you see in the pictures that has to do with my flooring is all recycled material as well. The fence boards that I used as purlins on the cement floor were leftovers from a fence job I did. Plywood was just left over from another job. I had two boxes of hardwood flooring given to me from an apartment job. Hardwood flooring that's meant to be on top of a gypcrete. Sidewalk blocks are salvaged from a shed demo.
You have to love when all the crap we salvage and take home and store for years ends up getting put to use LOL.
PS for any inspectors out there, I am aware that the stove doesn't technically pass for being out in a garage. It should be elevated 18 inches off the floor, right now it is 16 in. And it's supposed to have some sort of sidewalk block or post in front of it so that no one can drive into it. But this is not used as a vehicle garage, this is my shop and my office. All woodworking and hockey LOL. No cars.
