A little progress was made indoors this week. Bob constructed the stud framing for the wall that is to go behind the wood cookstove. It is a partition to make a visual separation between the kitchen/dining area and the living room, and is just over six feet tall so that the view into the vaulted ceiling and loft is not obstructed. This will cause the rooms under the cathedral ceiling to remain airy looking but also a little tidier. Theoretically that is. The wall will be clad on the cookstove side with non-combustible cement board for a later masonry and stone siding.
