This is the Household Skill and not many of us have furnaces in our homes?

Of course we have furnaces in our homes. They are usually located in the basement. Or a small heating sytem can be located in a designated closet.

I'm having trouble figuring out when to use "dove" and "dov'e". I thought the latter was "where is the" but that hasn't always worked.
Dove = where (Dove siamo? = Where are we? )
Dov'è = Dove + è = where is (Dov'è la tua casa? = Where is your house ? )
"the" should be omitted because you have the possessive (tuo/your) after it :
- Dov'è la casa ? = Where is the house ?
- Dov'è la tua casa ? = Where is your house ^?
Going back through this lesson is showing me how much Duo skipped. I had so many repeated questions that I'm just now learning "forno"="oven" during a strengthen run.
I live in Venice. Forno means oven, like you bake bread in, or a casserole, or a kiln for glass.
Furnace is more like riscaldimento, the household heating system.
I wrote "where is your bakery" but it was marked wrong. Forno also means bakery.
