Fire!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have fire. Gretchen took the day off yesterday and was furious to discover that I hadn't successfully figured out the chimney installation details, such as finding the proper adhesives for various components. At 5pm, we decided to begin the installation anyway, and work with the products that we had on hand. Let's just say it was a frustrating experience, and we were angrily snapping at one another the whole time.

Finally, at about 8pm, we got everything in, and fired it up! At that point, we decided that we liked each other again. It's now 18 hours later, and the fire is still going, burning off nasty factory chemicals from the stove and chimney. We'll be sweating soon, gang!
