Very good that you were wearing boots and thanks for posting it. It can only help to remind ourselves while doing what we do to take care every...
But it's not a disorder if you're in a club like this one. Thanks, Scotty - ya provided us immunity.... heheh.
Nice drop off there and the $10 goodwill gesture could turn into a bonanza.
Today (only) right here it goes out like a lamb. Sixty degrees, sunny and spring fever is rampant. We haven't had a day this warm/nice since...
Already have a pickaroon, but that gives a great idea for a thing to haul brush. Thanks!
.14 acre lot? A lot less lawn to cut 'cause it's all taken up by stacks. What an awesome score - good luck has engulfed you!
If your summer of 2013 was as rainy as ours, that would explain somewhat the slowness of your oak drying. Even if top-covered, frequent sideways...
Oak takes its sweet time to dry. It's good now and another summer will only help. Besides, there would be no harm in using 20% fatties in the...
One thing to know about BL is that it can be reluctant to light up. Adding a split or two of ash or cherry or maple to a BL reload helps. Very...

Our mesh screen under the cap had some creo buildup too yesterday when I went up to brush/sweep the flue. But not as bad as your picture, swags -...
Dang, I could hardly do that much in a week. On vacation. Good job! Will you have to change the screen name to "My IS Heats my Home"?
2 X 4's make good (re)starters. Always on the lookout for new stick built homes being framed out. Pretty often the framers are happy to be rid of...
Happens to the best of us. Even when ya expect it, your feet can zip out from under you for no reason. Glad for no damage, Dave.
Good job, Art. That's a lot of work there. When time allows, I like to sit and observe how cherry burns in the stove for hours and hours. Seems to...
Time frame is one to four years to retire. Have done 401k inputs since they were invented, trying to crunch numbers and check what's possible. I...
Not yet, but some time in the future. HOLY SMOKES there is a lot to learn. Really complex and convoluted so far: social security, pension, nest...
