Mistake right there. You don't go about it that way. You just light the fire, turn down the light and enjoy the aesthetics, or "athletics".
Well Larry, you bring a valid point to the table.....sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!!
We were about 64 today with a northeast wind, they say we'll hit 39 tonight. It's about 54 at the moment, we unplug the dehumidifier once we start burning so that will save some money on the electrical bill.
We have a chit load of Hemlock that Mother Nature put on the ground so we have plenty of shoulder season wood.
Doesn't really bother me, beautiful day to day, 76, cleaned the stove pipe out, cleaned all the acorns off the deck, raked up a bunch more around the yard, nice breeze outside
I hear ya... I didn't do jack diddly today. Only thing left to do here, is maybe mow that back grass again. Front grass is turning brown, as is custom around here by this time. or because of no rain. But, back is still growing. Waiting for the trees to go dormant and them helicopter looking things and leaves to start falling shortly. Glad I have a mulching mower!
