This our third HMV Cavendish heater acquisition, come rebuild. This is a nice multi-speed fan/heater model in all over cream, with its original orange lamp; ...wonderful.
Just a very old and funky shaped heater put in the middle of the backyard for one of my friends' wedding party.
Detail of dent in top of water heater found after opening box. There was no sign of damage to the box before opening it.
This is an illustration from Ianto Evans and Leslie Jackson's book Rocket Mass Heaters: Superefficient Stoves You Can Build (and Snuggle up to), which can be purchased from their site: www.rocketstoves.com/ I've been so eager to try my hand at building one, for many reasons but mainly because of their amazing use of woods combustive properties and the use of cob as a thermal mass to store all of the heat from combustion (in the form of benches or day beds). Ianto says in the introduction that he heats his cottage year-round using only 2/3 of a cord per year!
For so long I wished to have a wood burning stove, but who in their right mind would want to willingly chop all of the wood those things consume? Friends of mine heated their house with a wood-burning stove last year and it ate through several cords just to heat one room for the season...
With a few dead trees and a manual splitter one could heat their living space with little effort... And a back to spare.
On top of these amazing features, you can heat up a pot of tea to enjoy during all that free-time you'll have when not chopping wood.
You can also use this heating method to heat water, like our friends at Milkwood did: www.flickr.com/photos/cicada/sets/72157613058564419/ or inside of a small greenhouse: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtFvdMk3eLM
This place I'm house-sitting is as cold as anything. That's why I brought the bar heater from the bathroom. It wams the entire living area of this place with the greatest of ease. Except for when it catches on fire, which was five minutes ago.
A very "famous" electric shower here in Brazil from FAME, it was made entirely in chromed brass with insulations in bakelite and a porcelain support for the heater element, which help to get the water flow hot quickly during the passing by the heater chamber. This automatic model from FAME was invented in early 60's and suffered small non-significant changes along its life production until the early 90's. It has almost the same size of a blender motor base and about 5.5" (140mm) of diameter for the shower outlet.
Well known for its long lasting, the sound of the electric heater working, glowing under the water was higher in this specific model, this shower was very, very noisy, specially the units destinated for the cold regions, which had more power, but a bath under one of these was the best at that time thanks to the more dense and wide water jet without losses of heating.
FAME is an acronym that means "manufacturer of electric materials and appliances" in portugese for the old Company IREM (united electical manufacturer industries) founded in 1940 in São Paulo which made a wide range of differents electric showers along the 40's, contributing for the popularization of these appliances.
One way to fight climate change is to electrify your home and switch your natural gas applicances to electric, to reduce your carbon emissions. Then contact your utility to request 100% renewable electricity from wind and solar energy sources.
These simple actions can help reduce your energy usage, make your home more efficient and put money in your pocket.
In this photo set, contractors at John Owens in Marin County installed an electric water heater with a heat pump in Green Change director Fabrice Florin’s home, to reduce their carbon emissions. They got rid of their old natural gas heater, which was emitting a lot of CO2 in the air we breathe.
Their new water heater is now entirely powered by wind and solar, since they use 100% renewable electricity from MCE. Next, they will gradually electrify our home, to replace all their natural gas appliances and stop spewing CO2 in the atmosphere.
This is just one example of the climate actions we can take to make a green change in our lives: switching to 100% renewable electricity, getting an electric vehicle, biking more often, canceling long flights, converting gas appliances to electric and eating a plant-rich diet.
By taking all these actions this year, the Florins have now reduced their household carbon emissions by nearly half in just 6 months. They hope to reach zero emissions by the end of next year, to help solve the climate crisis.
And besides taking action in his own life, Fabrice also started Green Change, a new climate action network in Marin, to help others go green together.

This Item fits within a cardboard box 18w 16t 16d fully assembled. You can use a cardboard box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.
The most elegant, well crafted, customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate Heat Exchangers are built to last.
When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU heat generated by your fire.
Our volume of sales and positive feedback speaks for itself!
We have grates that have been in operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.
All our products are made with fully welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon steel, and UL certified electrical components.
We use 100% renewable wind and hydro electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and recycled steel.
Here is how it works:
Our all steel design uses several perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU from the embers and flame of your fire.
The AC fans plug into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.
Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
First in line is first in time, the sooner you order your Fireplace Grate Heater, the sooner you can start saving on the heating bill!
An electric heater used in showers is made of nickel or chrome wire as found in hair dryers or fan heaters, but in this case, the electric heater stays under the water. Sometimes they fail as a light bulb by the use along time, so is necessary to change the heater cartridge like a light bulb.

PVC heater. 4" shown. We stock 2" , 4" and 6". The largest had motor driven rollers and runs on 220 volts.
We found this in the inside of an outbuilding right behind the house. It's a huge heater, and very ornate!
There are many outbuildings and things still laying around outside. The farm is built on a hillside, so if you walk to the top corner, you have a wonderful view of the property (see the second video link below). It is a truly beautiful place.
Here are two videos I took (in June and April respectively) of the homestead. They can give you a better feeling for this wonderful place:

I hope everyone who sees this photo can think of this as more than just a room full of "junk". These things used to belong to the Borntrager family, Glenn, Esther and Floyd--just a few names of people who have been in this house (their history is below).
If you would like to see more photos of this amazing place, check out the set I took in April! Look out for the photos I took of the old letters--they are interesting!

I've decided to post photos of the Borntrager homestead. It's not spooky, but it is haunting. This farm house (and outbuildings) are full of things left behind by the family who last lived there-the Borntragers. From all that I have found they were very spiritual people--Mennonites and from exploring their home I feel that I have also gotten to know the people who used to live there. This homestead is very near and dear to my heart and it was hard for me to return and see it all again but I feel that this place deserves to be remembered somehow. Please enjoy the photos I'll be posting in the coming weeks of the Borntrager homestead and keep in mind that everything left behind belonged to a family who hopefully enjoyed living their life on their beautiful eastern Montana farm.
*****************
The Borntrager Homestead is my favorite abandoned homestead I have ever happened upon. I feel that in my short time exploring the property I got to know the family. I learned some of their names, saw their abandoned belongings and read their handwritten letters left behind. Even though I haven't visited the homestead for awhile now, I think of it often, wishing I could save it and everything left behind in it. It's a peaceful home, not creepy at all, formerly owned by a Mennonite family.
I always respect the homesteads I explore. This one did not have a no trespassing sign. I did not take or ruin anything, I simply took pictures to remember this place by long after it is gone.
Here is a history of the people who lived in the home.
Esther Kauffman died Feb. 12, 2006, at Brendan House in Kalispell, Mont. She was born Feb. 13, 1920, to Glen Joseph and Cora May (Chupp) Borntrager in rural Dawson County near Bloomfield.
She was baptized upon confession of faith at Red Top Mennonite Church in 1933, and on Nov. 8, 1946, was received into membership at Mountain View Mennonite Church, Creston, where she remained a lifelong member.
She was a 1940 graduate of Dawson County High School. As a young woman she lived a year in Oregon, where she worked at various jobs, mainly as a housekeeper or maid.
On May 31, 1943, she married Paul S. Kauffman at Red Top Mennonite Church, Bloomfield. They lived in the Bloomfield area, and in Glendive, in the first years of their marriage, where she worked variously in a laundry and taught school for most of a year.
In 1946 she moved to Creston with her husband. As the mother of seven children her life was full of homemaking, and her assistance as go-getter, bookkeeper and general helper in both logging and farming were indispensable.
Her sweet Christian spirit, her depth of spirituality and her commitment to Christ were appreciated. She was a good musician. The alto section in church choral groups leaned on her accuracy, and for a number of years she enjoyed singing in the Sweet Adelines.
Survivors include her husband, Paul S. Kauffman; three sons, Daniel D. Kauffman and his wife, Debbie, Kenneth G. Kauffman and his wife, Frieda, and Stephen G. Kauffman and his wife, Ginger, all of Kalispell; three daughters, E. Elaine Kauffman of Mountain Lake, Minn., Brenda M. Younger and her husband, Steven, of Stratton, Colo., and Alice L. Arneson and her husband, Richard, of Bothell, Wash.; a brother, Mahlon Borntrager of Glendive; two sisters-in-law, Effie Borntrager of Glendive and Violetta Borntrager of Mobile, Ala.; 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by three daughters, Eileen, Arlene and Rebecca Ann; two sisters, Lillie Greiman and Lena Boese; and three brothers, Floyd Borntrager, Elmer Borntrager and Oscar Borntrager.

Water heater is pretty new and can probably stay, unless it doesn't have enough capacity for 3+ bathrooms
