Another winter is coming

Well for those of you that have followed my trials and tribulations here is whats new. I have been steadily building my wood supply. Have about 7-8 cords of wood some that has been css for 2 years, and have been shopping around for inserts/freestanding stoves.

Dragged my feet and still don't have a stove. Was pretty set on getting the Osburn 2400 insert here in the next month. Unfortunately I do not think I will be getting one this year either. My wife and I found out that she has some fertility problems so looks like the money saved for the stove will be going towards IVF. I'm bummed out obviously about the problems we are going through but also bummed about not getting a stove for yet another year. But I will just keep on stacking and building up my wood supply. If I get to 15 cords or so people will really think I'm crazy if I still do not have a stove ha!

 

I'm sorry about your news, but also glad you had some money set aside to help with the medical news you got this year. Things happen for a reason, you might just find Karma working out in your favor without you even seeing it.

 

And just think....When you finally get your wood burner you will have the most awesome wood...

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it means a lot. Just going to keep stacking and splitting, stacking and splitting!

 

My wife's parents thought they were infertile after four years of marriage so they adopted. They became pregnant six months later and had three children of their own within the next several years.

You'll get more joy out of your children then you'll ever get out of a wood stove. You're keeping your priorities straight.

 

Prayers will be said at this home for you Capetown. Put your trust in the one above and keeps stacking brother. All the best to you and your bride.

 

Check into personal loans for the IVF treatment.... low interest rates out there now. Also look into what is/isn't covered by any insurance you have... most check-ups and consults are covered, some initial medicine may be covered as well.
As others said, the stove can wait. Used stoves and chimneys are always an option if you're in a pinch. Best of luck to you and your wife!

 

Winter aint coming just yet... Summer is short enough as is. The W word is banned until further notice!

 

There are lots of children who need your love whose parents had no intention of having them. Worth a consideration?
Keep those stacks piled! When you get your stove, your wood will be perfect!!

 

Thats definitely an option we have discussed. Lots of serious conversations and decisions are in the future. Yea I recently saw a tree back in my woods that is now destined for the woodpile. Never ends stove or not lol.

 

Okay... I might be the only one who thinks this but there might be more natural ways to solve your issues that INCLUDE a stove. I say get the stove, keep stuffing wood in it all winter, keep the wifey warm and you just might end up with a pregnant bride by the end of the winter!! Best of luck!!

 

that says it all, what a wonderful post and an even nicer offer of council. my hats off to you, that's so sweet of you to offer

 

Sorry to hear this but like everyone else said keep your headup and keep on trucking you'll get what you need in time.
