Great picture! Love it, all of it...
In 2103 I'd say my backyard looked somewhat similar to yours, 4 ft of snow and a place for the dogs to do their business.
I've seen that paved storage/work area before!
My wife was visiting as I was looking at this thread and she said 'Cherry"! I laughed my azz off...
You raised an eyebrow, hardly a problem though. I'm an non-union carpenter in MA. The 6 legged type ate ok if you catch the victim in time. By...

My female boxer does the same thing and then after a couple hours I hear her panting but she's so stubborn to want to move and cool off.
Great shot of your stove and the hearth
Agreed, frame is fixed. Maybe Oldhippie has something irregular?
I'm running two cats so when one is out being cleaned the 2nd one is making heat. To comment on your loose metal sounds, can't say I've ever heard...
Thats a great looking stove Will. Love the color combo and the hearth pad, very nice. She's wired for sound too!
articulating machine too?
The IS is munching on some red oak this afternoon. I came home from work early (noon) to find the first floor at 72 deg with an outside temp of...
