My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

cottage heating

8 years ago
We added a 20’x24’ room with vaulted ceiling to the back of our cottage but we can’t get it warm enough in the spring and fall. (We live in Canada). We have two useless baseboard heaters and one nearly-useless wall heater with fan but we’re still cold. Is our only answer a wood-burning stove? Thanks.

    Wood-burning stove, direct vent gas log set or ventless gas log set (if you have natural gas or propane), minisplit heat pump............ Lots of options, depending on how complex you want to go and how much you want to spend.
