@Beanc bats love it...rustic. on eother side of the front door the years 1904 and 1905 are drawn in to the mortar.
Def used rocks from the yard to build.

@damselfly59 🧡 one of the houses I looked at had one of the old stoves.
So tempting, but they were gonna take it

@Beanc it is heavy to move lol. I love it for occassional bread and pizzas. Got it for backup as we used to have more power outages than we do now.
Have used a wood cookstove off and on most my life. Love the taste it gives us.
