It was in superb shape so I got a deal on it
When the people I was with and I purchased a new home it came with a decorative wood stove, but technically it could have been used to heat the living room, however it never was. The previous homeowners never used it! It was totally scrub inside plus out. The woodstove was so small that if used, it would barely provide enough living room heating, he buys a fully functional oil furnace just for the look of it? They also vented it through the wood ceiling plus added a stack to the roof. It was able to be used however was worthless. It was a pain in the butt removing that oil furnace as well. It sat on a stone pad that needed to be destroyed with a sledgehammer. Then the people I was with and I had to redo the living room carpet due to the hole in the floor. Next the vent had to be unconnectd plus the wood ceiling needed to be patched. The stack was unconnectd plus roofers had to repair the injure; Lastly the people I was with and I had to transfer a cast iron oil furnace plus try to get someone to take it… Our Evansville IN Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C dealership didn’t want it due to the size. They said no homeowner would ever use it for their heating system. I eventually sold it to a guy that wanted a oil furnace for his hunting shack in IN. It was in superb shape so I got a deal on it. I just wanted that ugly wood stove though. I am so cheerful the people I was with and I have that extra space in the living room plus there are no holes in my ceiling plus roof anymore.
