Eddie, actually did see a deer yesterday, and thought of you when I saw it. Could not personnally imagine hunting those things, it was about the size of a Dane. But I did have a great meal of Deer at the Freilandmusem restaraunt. I bet I have gained 10 pounds here.
Ultra, if you go back to my thread on my house (AlanB house rebuild or something) I talked about a Kacheloffen then, and still think about it. Several of the houses here we are visiting have them, and most of what I do here is try and see what is different or better then what we do in the States. I had never seen the Kachelofen-Usa Site though, cool.
Anyway, right now the current thought is to do an large boiler type heater, coupled with a geothermal system and solar. the boss wants it in the basement, I want it outside, she will probably win
Most of the folks I spoke with that have the kachelofen's usually talk about the mess in the kitchen (or wherever the feed door is). I would have mine in the garage if it comes to that. For me though there is a definete appeal to sitting on the bench surrounding the ofen.
My lehrling tag was kind of cushioned as my boss of the day was the owner of the company and he came out to work the jobsite and work with me. Think it made most the workers nervous and unsure of who I was till they added it up who my brother in law was etc. I bet though they took it easy on me and I am glad they did
I did learn quite a bit about forming concrete and walls that way and am now considering doing that for my basement. After supper we talked in detail about why it was a better system then the block walls, concrete foundation, concrete floor currently in my house.
Try and get the pictures today, spent the day yesterday with my sister (married to my wifes, brother) took her out to eat and ended up putting a new muffler suspension system on her son's car as it broke while we were driving.
