terrible plan. No worries, I'll take that stove off your hands. Just kidding - enjoy the build!
Seriously! I had to curb it back a bit as the waistline started feeling tight.
Here are a few sourdough pizzas we've made. Our kids (who are 7, 5, 3) won't eat them, preferring pizza from a pizza shop and not "homemade...
26 overnight tonight with colder temps this weekend. Stove is burning 3-year-old silver maple and feeding it until at least Monday.
I'm always a little jealous of the woodshed pictures. Reminds me I gotta get working on a decent one. Someday.
