Alex & Sergei working on the masonry heater.

Darkness falls, but the masonry work goes on.

The exhaust gases are guided down a bunch of channels, where they heat up the surrounding firebrick.

The west slope of the roof is the last to get the SIP panels.  No sign of them yet.

The masonry heater work is coming along.

Insulating panels are added to the west roof.

Masonry heater core is complete.  At some point down the road, a stonemason will put a 4" thick face on it.

The heater punches through the loft floor so that it can heat the loft as well as the main floor.  But there's only one firebox, on the main floor.

Roofers are putting the strapping and steel on the east roof.

The front lookout peak roof is done (except for steel).
