Just lit off a small maple cocktail (sugar and silver) after last night's load did the work today. This 30* business sure makes it easy to keep...
Hi Steve, fire brick is available in many places, retail and online. Some stove manufacturers will sell you a kit of all bricks you need, or you...
Things we don't say here.. Honey, it's chilly - can we afford to crank the thermostat for a while tonight? Oil man is late, I hope we don't...
They're still calling for 3/4" here, but it's all rain for now and holding at 32. I'm puttering in the garage after running the burn barrel, we'll...
Still rain here. Just got done tending the burn barrel - prefer to do that in the rain for safety. Doesn't feel like it's going to be ice, but I...
You are a role model for hard work, Brad. Nice work again and as always. :)

Might have to wait until it gets cold for a bit first, Midwinter. Wait for that week or two in January or February when it stays around 0 with...
Wife entered us for that. If we win, I will encase it in grease and save it for a future house where we have a basement to hear rather than the...
Wow. I just paid ours: $248 - usage down 12% from last year, as our oldest left for college.
Just to say it, my owb blower was pretty loud and vibrated hard when cold shortly before it seized. Figured the (sealed) bearing spit its grease...
I'll put up another shed in 2020 - I built two little sheds this year, and pulling dry, covered wood from sheds ten feet from the stove room is...
Great job there jo! I remember cutting ironwood poles with my uncle and building a bridge with them on his lot in Becket MA many years ago....
Can't say I love cottonwood, but if it's on my property and already cut to length, I'm burning it.
