Pretty cool. I like taking things like this and modifying them just because I can. Then when it works even better that is icing on the cake....
Not everything that evolves can survive. Sometimes the evolution is just wrong.
right now it is -7 and wind chill -25. The wood is Lodge pole pine and Elm. A nice 75 inside. Almost t-shirt weather.
