    So he’s the same age as me but knows a lot more about stoves, wood and anything else to do with keeping the house warm so he’s a mentor! So he and a buddy came down and bought a saw from me and we had a couple hours worth of laughs. Great guy! You guys have a great day and weekend! Eric VW

    Yes, but the thought of Eric VW being a mentor is scary.
