What a beautiful little home, I have no doubt you will be very happy living there.

Great, I love the snow.  Looks like Dh has some work cut out for him before the snow start flying.   Is that a fire place on the left or just the heating system?

That is one of two chimneys we have to remove, both are crumbling, that particular one was for the kitchen woodstove, which is actually still in the kitchen.  Not sure what to do with it, I hate to get rid of it, as I remember my grandmother baking the best pies ever in that thing, but it is huge, and we really can't sacrifice the space to keep it.  I do know that moving it out, will be about as much fun as pulling your own teeth.

LOL  I warmed many a rock in one of those old kitchen woodstove, wrapped them in old towels.   Put them at the foot of the bed in the winter to keep our feet warm.   The kitchen woodstove was heat for the downstairs for about 10 years.

Depending on condition, it is worth at a minimum, a grand, assuming it's a full stove cook-top and oven as well.

I looked into that, even thought about paying someone to convert it to conventional.  I am such a sap, not sure I could sell it, but pretty sure I can't afford to convert it.  I am considering asking dh if we could save it for heating an out-building.  That way, I could be warm, and have a fresh pot of tea.
