Stoves weighing no more than 750 kg are allowed to be installed on the floor, provided that it is strong enough and the boards do not sag when walked on. But it is better to install stoves on a separate foundation for them. Furnaces weighing over 750 kg necessarily require a separate, solid foundation. If the soil is damp, iron ore bricks should be used, since ordinary bricks can collapse due to dampness. Part of the foundation, located in damp soil, can be laid out of rubble stone 150 - 250 mm above ground level, leveled, waterproofed, and the rest can be laid in brick...” Every owner of a summer cottage dreams of turning it into a piece of paradise.
