my wife and I decided to switch from coal to wood this past fall. So we bought a hearthstone wood stove. Love it, planning on getting a second one for main living area. Soooooo anyways I start by collecting standing dead back in October, split it dry it before winter Stacked all nice and pretty. Well I've been collecting all winter, I find myself looking every time we go for rides , on my way to work etc. been cutting,hauling,splitting ever since Seems like that's all I want to do anymore lol My wife says maybe I'm starting to develope some kind of addiction. I say nah. No way it's firewood. But honestly I think I am. So I google firewood hoarders for kicks and giggles. Well to say the least I was shocked and amazed,and pleased to find out that a lot of people seem to suffer from what I've been feeling lol Thanks for the add. Doug

It's neither an addiction nor an affliction, it's a predelection (a preference or affection). Let's all get it straight!! :-D. Lol.
It's a lifestyle. Welcome aboard Doug! Normal? Hmmm......that's what we think we are. No suffering, just enjoyment. Carry on, You're doing it right, but pics would prove it.
Wow!!!! Thank you all for the warm ( pun intended) welcome. I'm very glad I found this site. I'll work on the pic posting. At 43 I'm not too technology savvy. Lol
