IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel burning room heater. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT OT ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM;
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE
OIL;
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Contact local building officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney
pressure, it is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight.
The use of grates or other methods of supporting the fuel is not permitted.
This unit is designed to burn pelletized wood fuel only. Do not use any other type of fuel, this will void any
warranties stated in this manual.
THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air
is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slide
damper located on the left side of the stove.
It is advisable to clean the exhaust vent bi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 115 volts, 60-hertz electrical outlet. Be careful
that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges.
This unit’s maximum power requirement is 450 watts (3.91 Amps).
Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely
rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and
bolted to the floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs.
The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free to
contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the installation of your stove, we grant no warranty implied or
stated for the installation or maintenance of your stove, therefore, Sherwood Industries Ltd. assumes no
responsibility for any consequential damage.

PELLET QUALITY IS IMPORTANT,
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PAGE
Your pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Since there are many manufacturers of
wood pellets it is important to select pellets that are free of dirt or any impurities. The Pellet Fuel
Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufactures. We recommend the use of
pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR PELLET STOVE IS GREATLY EFFECTED BY THE TYPE AND
QUALITY OF WOOD PELLETS BEING BURNED. AS THE HEAT OUTPUT OF VARIOUS QUALITY
WOOD PELLETS DIFFER, SO WILL THE PERFORMANCE AND HEAT OUTPUT OF THE PELLET
STOVE.
Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no
liability caused by the quality of wood pellets used.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines ..................................... 1% maximum through a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density .......................... 40 lbs. per cubic foot minimum
Size ....................................... 1/4” to 3/8” diameter 1 – 1.5” long maximum
Ash Content .......................... 1% maximum
Moisture Content................... 8% maximum
Heat Content......................... approximately 8200 Btu per lb. minimum
Check the burn-pot liner periodically to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers, (clinkers are
silica in the fuel that forms a hard mass during the burning process). If they are blocked, remove the
liner (when the unit is cold) and clean the clinkers out. The liner should be cleaned or scraped once
every 2-3 days depending on wood pellet quality. Clean the holes in the lines with a small pointed
object.
Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.

WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door shut.
B. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass.
C. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation. If you must
clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner.
D. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the surface or any part of the stove.
E. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement.
F. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, or similar liquids to start the fire. Keep
all such liquids well away from the pellet stove while it is in use.
G. Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in
soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
H. Make sure the ash pan is closed tightly during the operation of the stove.
I. Fresh air intake is strongly recommended. Failure to install Intake air may result in improper
combustion as well as the unit the unit smoking during power failures.
NOTE: Fresh air is mandatory on all units installed in “Mobile Homes” as well as “Air Tight”
homes.
J. GOLD BARS: Clean all fingerprints off of all the gold parts before firing each time. Fingerprints
etc. can become etched in the gold if not removed before operating the pellet heater.
K. BRICK PANEL: The paint on the steel brick panel may peel, this is due to the extreme
conditions applied to the paint and is in no way covered under warranty.
L. KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET
FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan could be the result.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES OF YOUR PELLET STOVE
A. With the auto/manual switch in the auto position, the stove will shut off when the fire goes out
and the exhaust temperature drops below 120° F (49°C). If the switch is in the manual position,
the stove will continue to feed pellets into the burn pot after the exhaust temperature drops
below 120° F (49°C) and the ignitor will reheat.
B. The stove has a high temperature safety switch. If the temperature at the back of the firebox
reaches 200° F (93°C), the auger will automatically stop, and the stove will shut down when the
exhaust temperature cools. If this happens, call your local dealer to reset the 200° F (93°C)
high limit switch. ALSO FIND THE REASONS WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.
C. The stove has a convection fan control over-ride. This function causes the convection fan to
reach its full speed when the temperature at the back of the firebox reaches 160° F (71°C). This
is a normal safety feature of your unit. To compensate for the fan cycling action that may occur,
turn up the blower control proportionately to the heat output.
If the power goes out, the stove will stop running. When the power comes back on, the stove
will not restart if the switch is in the auto position and the exhaust temperature is below 120° F
(49°C). If the exhaust temperature is above 120° F (49°C) or the switch is in the manual position,
the stove will start to feed pellets again and may re-light itself

HOW TO START YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE
1. Fill hopper with pellets.
2. Switch the power on by pushing the
rocker switch to the manual position. FAN
CONTROLLER
3. Turn Dial A Fire knob to the 12 o’clock
position. (The lower grade pellets may
need a higher setting on the feed rate.)
4. Approximately 15 minutes after the fire
was lit, the green light should come on.
WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT COMES
ON, PUSH THE ROCKER SWITCH TO
THE AUTO POSITION. Now the stove
will shut off automatically if the fire goes
out.

6. Adjusting the blower speed control knob
will vary the rate of airflow into the room
by varying the speed of the convection
blower. *NOTE: The convection blower
may cycle to high automatically
depending on the setting of the Dial A
Fire knob and the blower speed control
knob.
TURNING YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE OFF
The auto/manual switch must be in the AUTO position during operation. To turn the stove off,
simply turn the HEAT OUTPUT knob (knob “B”) counter-clockwise until the knob clicks to the “off”
position. This will stop the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to run and cool the stove.
SPECIAL NOTES
If the stove is left in the manual mode after the green light comes on, the auger will continue to feed
pellets. Pellets may over flow the burn-pot after the fire goes out and also re-light.
The scale on knob “B” represents a range, not exact times. Wood pellets of differing quality may effect
the performance/heat output of the stove. If the stove has trouble operating at the end of its range,
adjust the heat output knob back slightly.

SLIDER/DAMPER INSTALLATION /OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS
This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
INSTALLATION:
1. Remove the slider rod (short rod with knob and nuts) and the two nuts from their package and open
the left side panel. This is the smaller of the two rods. Remove the knob from the knob.
2. Remove the knob and the outer nut from the rod. Push the rod through the hole in the slider. Place
the other nut on the rod and tighten, leaving a 1/32” gap between the slider and one of the other
nuts.
3. Make sure the slider moves freely. Close the left side panel and the tighten screws. Push the rod
through the hole in the side panel. Screw the knob on to the slider rod.
OPERATION:
1. On the low heat output settings, push the slider all the way in.
2. On the high heat output pull the slider out until a good fire is achieved. A good fire is in between a
fire with lazy flames (black tipped flames) and a forced fire (very quick, shorter flames). A good fire
is the most efficient and will have a bright and active flame.

AREAS FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION
The following should be inspected periodically to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving
you excellent heat value:
2-3 DAYS/WEEKLY SEASONALLY or 2 TONS OF FUEL
Burn Pot and Liner Exhaust Vent and Fresh Air Intake Tube
Ash Pan Blower Mechanisms
Inside Firebox Heat exchanger tubes
Behind Firebox Liners Latch Mechanism of ash pan
Door Glass Door Latch
Heat exchanger tubes All Hinges
Ash pan and Door gaskets Post Season Clean-up
TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT: Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 5/16 Socket and Ratchet, Brush, Soft Cloth,
Vacuum with fine filter bag
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS
After excessive use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-temperature
fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.DO
NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
BURNER POT AND LINER
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Every two to three days (when the unit is cold) remove the burn-pot
liner from the stove. Using a metal scrapper remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s
holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot. Place the burn-pot back
into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot and the front tabs are in place in
the firebox. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the
ignitor tube. Pushing the liner up against the igniter tube.
To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner open the door using the door handle provided located on the left-hand
side of the stove, swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot, lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently
lifting the front of the burn pot up first then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the igniter cartridge.

INSERT ASH REMOVAL:
The EF-2i pellet stove insert does not have an ash pan and the ashes must be vacuumed out of the firebox on a
daily basis. CAUTION: BECAUSE THE FLY ASH IS VERY FINE, THE USE OF A VACUUM BAG WILL BE
REQUIRED TO PREVENT ASH FROM BEING BLOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM. Please pay special attention
that there are no hot ashes in the firebox or there could be a possibility of a fire hazard inside the vacuum cleaner.
Place all hot ashes into a noncombustible container.
FREESTANDING ASH PAN:
This part is located under the burner, in the pedestal and has a latching mechanism to secure it. To remove the
ash pan, unlock the latch on the pedestal cover and then pull the pan out. Dump the ashes into a metal container
stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will
have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “Warnings
and Recommendations” for disposal of ashes.
BLOWER MECHANISMS
Unplug the stove then open the right/left side panels to access the two blowers. Only the convection blower
motor (on the right side of the stove) will require lubrication. The convection motor has two lubrication holes on it.
Use two drops of SAE 20, light oil to lubricate every six months. Excess oil may damage the motor. The exhaust
blower’s motor has sealed bearings, DO NOT lubricate this motor.
8

DOOR GLASS
(It is recommended that your dealer replace the glass if broken.)
The door glass is made of 5 mm thick, high temperature PYROCERAMIC The center panel is 229 mm x 330 mm.
To replace the glass, unscrew and remove the four glass retainers. Remove the glass and any broken pieces.
High temperature fiberglass tape should be used around the glass. Replace the glass, center the glass assembly
in the frame, then screw the glass retainers back to the frame. The use of substitute materials is prohibited.
FRESH AIR INTAKE
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
INSIDE FIREBOX
For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from behind the steel plates by rotating the circular cover to allow
vacuuming behind the plates.
Removal of the fire box backing for bi-annual cleaning
- Remove the top baffle.
- Lubricate, and then remove the 7 screws that hold the brick liner in place. Tilt the top of the brick
panel towards the firebox opening and pull out to remove from the firebox
- Remove the top rod by first removing the screw that holds it in place, then slide the rod sideways
- Pull the side panels into the center of the firebox, then out
- Pull the center panel out
- Clean all passages thoroughly
Installation of fire box backing:
- Install the side panels in place. Insert center panel, hold the panels in place
- Install the top rod by sliding it into one side panel then across into the other panel. Screw rod in
place.
- Re-install steel brick liner and screw into place.
- Replace top baffle
EXHAUST VENT
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal: - The products of combustion will contain small particles of
flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some
soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected
at least once every year or after two tons of pellets to determine if cleaning is necessary. We recommend
contacting your dealer for professional cleaning. To remove dust from the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to
dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the ”T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the
vent pipe as possible.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
The cleaning rod is to be pulled back and forth a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean
away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce
different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run
efficiently.
POST SEASON CLEAN-UP
Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical protection.
It is very important that the stove be cleaned and serviced as stated above. (See Section Areas of Routine
Inspection)

ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FUNCTIONS
The following is a list of electrical components and their functions on the ENVIROFIRE EF-IIi pellet stove.
1. CONVECTION FAN CONTROLLER
This controller is responsible for varying the speed of the convection blower. The stove has a fan control-over-
ride. Should the convection blower be set on low and the Dial-A-Fire set on high, the convection blower will by-
pass the fan controller and go to high. This will cool the stove until control is given back to the fan controller. To
eliminate possible cycling of the convection blower, turn up the fan speed proportionately to the Dial-A-Fire.
2. STOVE TEMPERATURE LIGHT
This light is designed to tell the operator when the units exhaust temperature is above 120°F (49°C). The
auto/manual switch should be put in the auto position when the green light comes “ON”.
3. AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH
In the MANUAL position this switch bypasses the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor. This will allow you to start
and operate the stove when it is cold. In the AUTO position, the 120°F (49°C) sensor has control of the stove.
This allows the stove to shut off if the fire goes out.
4. DIAL-A-FIRE (HEAT OUTPUT CONTROL)
This unit is responsible for controlling the timing of the auger motor. When turned clockwise, it will cause the OFF
time between auger pulses to shorten, resulting in more heat output and pellet consumption. Turn the knob
counter-clockwise and the reverse will happen. When it is turned fully counter-clockwise past the “click”, the auger
will stop.
5. CONVECTION BLOWER
This blower fan (mounted on right hand side of the stove) draws room air from the back of the stove and passes
the air through the heat exchanger tubes and back into the room. This sealed system keeps the room air separate
from the combustion air. The convection fan controller controls this fan’s speed.
6. COMBUSTION/EXHAUST BLOWER
This constant fan (mounted on the left side of the stove) is responsible for drawing the outside fresh air into the
combustion chamber for burning. The hot air then continues to be drawn over the heat exchanger tubes and into
the exhaust channel. It is then pushed out through the exhaust system.
7. AUGER MOTOR AND AUGER
This 1-rpm auger motor is responsible for turning the auger, which in turn transports pellets to be dropped into the
burn pot. The auger motors control is handled by the timing control module and the Dial-A-Fire.
8. TIMING CONTROL MODULE
The timing control module is mounted on the right hand side rear pillar of the stove. The module controls the
switching of power to the auger. The modules switching duty is controlled by the Dial-A-Fire.
9. 200°F (93°C) MANUAL RESET TEMPERATURE SENSOR
This sensor (located on the right side firewall) has a red push button located in its center. This is a safety device.
In the event that the convection blower fails, this sensor will overheat and shut off power to the auger motor.
10

10. 160°F (71°C) TEMPERATURE SENSOR
When this sensor (located on the left side firewall) reaches 160°F (71°C), the convection blower will go to high,
cooling the unit.
11. 120°F (49°C)- N/O TEMPERATURE SENSOR (SHUT DOWN SENSOR)
This sensor (mounted on the exhaust blower housing) has two functions (only if the auto/manual switch is in the
auto position):
-Should the fire happen to go out, this sensor will shut the stove off when the exhaust temperature drops
below 120°F (49°C)
-When the auger is turned off via the Dial-A-Fire, the exhaust temperature will drop, when it goes below
120°F (49°C), the sensor will turn the stove off.
12. 120°F (49°C)-N/C TEMPERATURE SENSOR (IGNITER SHUT DOWN SENSOR)
This sensor (mounted on the exhaust channel) will turn the igniter off when the exhaust channel temperature
reaches 120°F (49°C).
13. IGNITER
Is a heating element used to ignite the fuel? When the start up switch is activated, the igniter is has power going
to the igniter when the switch is in the manual position. Air passes through the igniter tube, which becomes super
heated drying the fuel and then igniting the fuel through convection.
14. VACUUM SWITCH
This safety device (mounted on the left side pillar) detects vacuum in the exhaust system. If the exhaust blower
fails or the vent pipe becomes plugged, this switch will sense that there is no airflow and will stop the auger from
continuing to feed pellets.

DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE
1. Check clearances to combustibles.
2. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space. Combustion air may be
obtained from a ventilated crawlspace.
3. Do not install the stove in a bedroom.
4. You can vent the stove through an exterior wall behind the unit or connect it to an existing masonry or
metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6” in diameter, or less than 28 sq. inches cross
sectional area). An interior vent can be used with approved pipe passing through the ceiling and roof.
5. Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat
circulation.
6. The power cord is 8 feet (2.43 m) long and may require a grounded extension cord to reach
the nearest electrical outlet.
VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS
A) Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas, such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl
space, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a
concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc.
B) Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding r
guards may be required.
C) Termination must exhaust above inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be
installed when the appliance is vented directly through a wall to create some natural draft. This is to prevent
the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down and to keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof.
D) The vent terminal cannot be:
-Less than 4 feet (1.2 m) below
-Less than 4 feet (1.2 m) horizontally from, and
-Less than 1 foot (30 cm) above doors, window openings, or gravity /ventilation air inlets into the building.
E) Distance from bottom termination and grade –12” (305 mm) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and
nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs that are
located in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance from bottom of
termination and public walkways is 7 feet (2.1 m) minimum.
F) Distance to combustible materials is 2 feet (610 mm). This includes adjacent buildings, fences, protruding
arts of the structure, roof overhang, plants, shrubs, etc.
G) When installing an FPI or BIH the chimney must be fully lined. Unless the chimneys inside diameter are less
than 6” around or has a cross section area of less than 28 square inches. We strongly recommend lining all
masonry chimneys
H) If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior
of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond Sherwood Industries Ltd. Control, we grant no
guarantee against such incidents.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER INSTALL YOUR PELLET STOVE

When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace DO NOT
remove any bricks or masonry, with the following exception;
Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be
removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame
if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner. Provided
that their removal will not weaken the structure of the
fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for
combustible materials to less than that required by the
national building code.
When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance
fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox parts.
If the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero clearance

HORIZONTAL EXHAUST THROUGH THE WALL
1. NOTE: Use only listed type “PL” or “L” pellet venting products. Failure to use listed components may cause
damage or personal injury or death.
2. Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows installation
with the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.
3. Install a non-combustible hearth pad underneath the unit extending 6 inches (15 cm) in front of and to the
sides (where necessary).
4. Place the stove 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set the unit on it.
5. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have located the
exhausts center point on the wall, use a hole saw to cut a 7” (175 mm) diameter hole for a 3” vent pipe or
an 8” (200 mm) hole for a 4” (101 mm) vent pipe.
6. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble. Maintain an effective vapor barrier
7. Install a 2 or 3ft. (61 or 92 cm) length of 3” (76 mm) or 4”(101) listed type “PL” or “L” vent pipe into the wall
thimble. The pipe should install easily into the thimble.
8. Install the fresh air intake (see the section, OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTIONS).
9. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove.
10. All joints in the vent system shall be fastened with three (3) screws. Seal the connection with high
temperature silicone.
11. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 1” (3 cm) clearance from the back of the stove to the
wall. Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone.
12. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another pipe (PL
type) to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place high temperature
silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.
13. Install vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination. The stainless
steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However, when the vent
terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants etc. within several feet, a 45°
elbow can be used as a termination. The elbow must be turned down to prevent rain from entering.
NOTE: Some horizontal, through the wall
installations may require a “T” and 4-5 feet of
vertical pipe outside the building to help draft
the stove. This may be required if a proper
burn cannot be maintained, after the stove
has been tested and the airflow set. This is
due to backpressure in the exhaust, caused
by the airflow around the house.
