That's the space between the floor of the porch and the ground in the yard. We were surprised it had concrete poured over it. It's usually dirt in these old spaces. It's also the area where you enter our basement from the outside.

Gonna start up construction again in the whatever you want to call it room. Mike has taken some time down from work this month. So by the end of the month, we should have the hearth built, the corner tiled and the stove installed!
We took the year to purchase the chimney pipe off season, get other things needed for the stove corner. One of the things I wanted was a tile with a cool looking compass in it. They were very pricey, so I decided to make one using the tile I already
had, this is the finished product. It will be installed in front of the stove in the floor.

Looks good. In the farmhouse in VA, we heated the whole house with a woodstove for a decade until my military challenges put a stop to cutting all that free firewood laying around the property. We had a hydraulic ram splitter, and the 4x4 farm truck. Two cords would get us thru the winter. Lol. My surgeon ordered me to stop. Knee replacement didn't need to be in the woods cutting firewood.

Once I couldn't cut wood any longer, we had to go with the gas furnace. Lot's less work, but it never kept the house as warm.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
