Wood Stove Platform and Progress

I oiled my stove, that's the reason it's so beautifully black.
The legs have been "cemented" on with that great caulking stuff I used to glue the front panel on. The stuff hardens like rock and can withstand temps up to 1,000 degrees. The legs were the weak spot. Everything in life has a weakness.

The blocks are each 12 inches square and the platform is 2 x 3 feet. Once the cement cures, I'll move the stove forward so its two feet from that back wall. The pipe will go through the window at a 90 degree angle, then 90 degrees up past the roof. I checked the draw, it should be perfect.

Each of these blocks was $1.58 at walmart. I could have bought grey, but this color seemed more rustic.
This studio was a 12 x 16 steel beam and pressure treated floor. I insulated it with 13 R factor and paneled it. The building was delivered in 2005 and until now had not had any real source of heat. Now it will be toasty warm, with a pot of coffee ready on the back burner. I'll be installing pipes next week, I hope.
