Well, after waiting and searching for a long time, I finally found a nice used wood stove for the shop. I got the tile work done, and the stove installed. Now the weather is 65 degrees :D I'm still glad it's done, now the sheetrock mud will dry. I've included some pictures cause I know how much we all enjoy them.

here is the begining of the tile, the dark diamond pattern...the lighting is weird cause of the shop light.

here the upper portion of the wall is being filled

the tile is almost finished, just a few cuts to make for the outlet, and the front of the floor area.

here it is with the stove in and a fire going.....what a relief to have this over with.....Dang double insulated stove pipe is expensive >:(

Hi,

looks good-did you put a tee at the bottom,or are there two ells??

If there are two ells,the soot will tend to build up..Bert

Looks very nice! I hear you on that double walled/insulated stove pipe. It ain't cheap but it is nice to have.

Thats what I was thinking. Looks more like a living room than a shop.

ya :D :D you all are right, it is a bit fancy for a shop, but i thought I would be able to use it as a show peice....I enjoy tile work so if i get a few side jobs from it it will be worth it.

thanks for the compliments every one
