smell those radiators warming

I wiped down the exterior of the stove with a damp sponge after the creosote clean out of the interior. It sure smelled funky when I came back in from doing the chickens. It's all burned off now. Time for a new sponge.

I've been online most of the morning looking for a good room to room fan for the spare room. I want something I can hardwire that has a remote to operate when the fan comes on and at what speed. I want a ducted model for my room. Which means I will have to spend more quality time in my attic to install it. I may just use the fan in the hall method again this year. We'll see how I feel as other projects get finished up.

Still haven't needed the furnace. Fire in the wood stove in the morning, and another one in the evening. Let's see how far into October we can go. I can't remember the "furnace on" date last year.

Good afternoon, Slept in till 6:30 as my week off starts thank you for the coffee. Worked on the never ending chicken coop LOL yesterday and today. So; today I will be able to work on it for more than an hour. When I get home during the week break everything out, I only have an hour or two then put it all away. Trust me I have had to take a few things back off and re-screw it back, I'm not a carpenter I'm a plumber!
Woke up this morning DW asked why is it so cold, the heat was set at 69 LOL.

Wood stove much different odors than my hot water heat radiators.

The hearth room (living room) shares a common wall with the spare room. So I will install a through wall fan that pulls 3" from the ceiling and discharges the warm air about 1/3 the way down the spare room wall. The fan can be controlled with a remote. This is what I bought. I'll put a 2x4 in the wall cavity under where I'll mount this and cut off the plug and hardwire it. I'll be able to access the splice by pulling the fan out of the cavity.

My room is at the end of the hall with no room for such a fan. So I will install a ceiling inlet vent in the living room, a ceiling discharge vent in my bedroom with an in-line fan connected to insulated duct work to move the warm air through the attic. I'll bury the insulation flexible duct work under the attic insulation to help keep the air warm.

There are good gaps under both doors for return air to be pulled down the hall towards the hearth room.

I have one of those to pump hot air from the basement (where the boiler is) into the mudroom (that has no heat but has a sink which I worry will freeze). I don't have controls though, it just fans all the time. It is very effective at heat transfer.

I assume this duct run is parallel to the ceiling joists, so you can keep it low under the insulation instead of having to jump joists?

I have trusses so they only have to jump 2x4s. The insulation is over 12" thick so the ducts will be buried.
