Conyers' latter of Feb. 5, a cow of which is attached for ,.our ini ormat1on. We are answering inlliltar aa possible in this letter the points raised and wish after you bave reviewed. them that you would see that they are broUGht to Mr. Conyers' attention. Relative to the c~es i~volved by the elimination of the fireplace and the installation of a furnace at the Ferron Ranger Station, we wish to state that ~e are enclosing a plan wnich gives the specifications for the furnace and its location and such data. as is needed to handle the register and to show its exact placing in the front roam. This location bas been worked out to compensate for all factors in heat transmission and nas proved verr satisfactory as an installation . loca.Uon. We nave also sketched on a plan included herewith, the location for a chimney which would serve both. the k:1 tcnen range aDd the furnace and wmch would not proj ect into the front room. The hot water tank could be put in the basement somewnere near the furnace and this would. of course , eliminate the space required in the k1 tchan. You will note that the chimney suggested for this change requires only two flues, one for the ki tcnen range, and one for the furnace. One of these could have a thimble for use in the living room as desired for a stove, but if you are going to install a furnace, we suggest that no openings be cut in tae living ro~ for a stove. You could use the book case in the career, or it could be elimin~ted, as you desire; however, a tall book cas~n~n a room wall is not very pleasing. You ~ reduce the present material list to cut out ~~e fire brick and at least 300 common briclc bJ' making the c!lange to the chimney in lieu of the fire place. In regard to the location of a coal bin in the basement under tne breakfast alcove and that portion of the rear porch, we would say t~t thhwould be satisfactory to us; however, we would not wish you to go the extra expense of having t~1a finished section under the front porch. al well. |
