When I put the hole in my trailer roof I ran into a stud and wires for the light lol. What a pain. I know all about your northwest climate. I came from southwest British Columbia. The Fraser Valley near Vancouver. You may know it. Long wet falls and winters. Now I'm in northwest Alberta. Long terribly cold winters. -20c to -40c is normal and lots of snow. I'd rather the rain lol.

Oh dang, that is a pain! Yes we'd def take the mild wet winters over that minus ones. At least here if you want snow you can just drive up the mountain and enjoy it!

Looks great! Geometry solutions were killer, but did anyone else see the size of that coliflower?? Awesome fireplace! 👌

Sounds like James is giving a geometry lesson there at one point haha seems complicated. But the payoff is 👌 Nice work you guys! My response to installing one on your floating home is DUH! So cozy.

@@AllisonandJamesSailing I live in Norway, during the winter months I have been docked right outside my off grid boathouse, that's where I keep the wood. Due to cutting my own wood and letting it dry properly this is the current solution I have. From March to late October I like to sail around the area, I might bring wood for 2-3 weeks if it's cold and then I resupply. I also have a diesel heater that heats water, this water circulate in the hot water tank and a radiator. The diesel heater is mainly for backup and to heat water for shower and washing machine. This is my first year living off grid, and I try to find better solutions as I go. But I try to keep it cheap and simple. The boat is 36 years old, and my greatest issue during winter is the humidity. I plan on isolating more of the hull. due to lack of sun for the solar panels during winter, I have to charge batteries with a portable generator to keep up with the power consumption of my small dehumidifier. I might look into wind generators at some point.

Great video Allison and James. Thanks for the upload, it helps with my install

Amazing, so stoked you found us Debra! We are also very much into living in small spaces and DIY projects so you can expect more of that from us in vids to come! It was intimidating and scary taking the leap into all these things but its such a rewarding journey, especially learning how capable you really are! Thanks for writing and hope you enjoy the adventures afloat on the tiny home with sails! Chat soon!

James is sooo handy! Amazing job! I love the tile, very sleek! The drone shots showing the airstream and fall leaves were so nice! And I love the seamless close up shots you get. Airstreams and wood stoves go hand in hand. So cozy! Living the dream! ❤

Oh your new stove is so cozy! 🔥☺️ Hope it keeps the indoor condensation to a minimum.... I'm curious, can you move the trailer to another site with the stovepipe sticking out of the top? I know you've built out your trailer with the intent of keeping it in one place (not going camping every weekend)...

Thank you Rachel! It is working great to keep the space dry & toasty! And yes we can move the trailer with the flue pipe as is, would just maybe remove the rain cap which is easy enough!

Thanks for the video! It helped me with my install. One quick question for you. Have you noticed heat being transferred through where you bolted the legs down? Had that caused any issues for you?

@AllisonandJamesSailing

We haven’t noticed any significant heat transfer through the legs and down into the tiled surround over the last 2yrs. The tile does an excellent job of reflecting heat back upwards for our install. Thanks for checking out our video and best of luck with your install!

Hi! We pay for a creator subscription from Epidemic Sound so the music you hear is only available on that platform with a subscription 👎🏽 Let me know if you’d still like the name of it and I’ll hunt it down

Is it okay to install it with tile/cement board and no air gap between the cement board/plywood wall?

@FullSunshineDreams

Жыл бұрын

additional question: are you able to tell how much heat is transferring to the wood beneath, if at all? (can you feel it with your hand on the inside of the cupboard?)

@AllisonandJamesSailing

Жыл бұрын

We have a large air gab behind the plywood wall and even after running the stove for 12hrs there isn’t too much heat transfer through the tile/cement board. Most of the heat is reflected from off the tile and with such a small stove it rarely stays consistently lit for more than a few hours at a time.
