About that Master Bedroom Plan. Uh. I’ve already scrapped it.

Shortly after writing that entry, I went and stared at the giant drywall box that encloses my wood burning stove’s exhaust pipe. The box juts way out into the floorspace in the bedroom; so far, in fact, that it forces me to put my bed up against a wall. Lengthwise, that is. So that one person has to crawl to the foot of the bed to get out of it.

I briefly considered trading my full-sized bed in for a fold-out daybed to save on space. But then I decided, nah, let’s just sledgehammer the box out. There has to be a better solution for the pipe than that thing.

Ah, that’s better. Kinda. Um.

My hope at this point is to get a chimney expert in here to see if we can’t reroute this baby a little closer to the wall. Or, preferably, in the wall.
