    20 this morning with large Pine splits in the Wood Gun. We have some snow on the ground as well. Not much, maybe an inch or two. Correction. 2-3 inches now that I’m outside.

    We got inches of rain yesterday and it was around 60 degrees. I saw a lot of standing water yesterday when I came back from my folks house. This morning it’s 25, only getting up to around 30 today. I see a lot of ice rinks today.

    18 and 70. Elm burning in the basement stove and hackberry in the upstairs stove. I can foresee some windows being open this afternoon with both stoves running. :D

    12f here just had to refill the wheelbarrow in that short time my hands went numb. Black locust and hickory should warm me up quick. Glad I didn't work today, wanted to css some oak and maple but it needs to warm up.

    Looks like we hit our high of 28 today. Gorgeous bright sunny day here. The stove is humming along to the tune of some Red/White Oak shorties keeping the house at 72.

    23 down to 13 tonight, wasn't a bad day today, first day I went out ice fishing, didn't even get a bite but at least I got out.

    We have had unusually low temperatures in the teens for the past day and a half.
    Poor little VC Aspen stove was stuffed with repeated cycles of pine then oak.
    The stove is full of coals and we have a tough time keeping the indoor temps above 60.

    Will you eventually get a bigger stove and/or improve insulation?
