Here's the pot-bellied stove I mentioned earlier. (The black object sitting on the back higher part is a cast-iron pot with a bear as part of the lid. The oil in it permeates the room with fragrance when the stove is going. It was a present from the previous owner.) In Jan 2009 we found out that this stove (and as long as it's been there) has not met codes. So, measures were taken to make it fall within code. The vertical sides of the pedestal area it sits on were changed to tile, tile was laid on the main floor level, and the stove was moved out further from the corner to give it the proper distance from the walls. Also, a new stove pipe was installed, as well as the part that exits the ceiling/roof and goes up into the sky.
