    Good luck with that project.

    How and where do you store that week's worth of water?

    7/64

    Didn't fire up at bedtime last night as it was 72 and there was some complaining directed at the temps. :doh:

    No matter, we didn't get the overnight winds that were predicted. Just some light fluffy snowfall of 3 or so inches (looks like)

    26, NW wind makes it feel pretty cold out there this morning. Topped off the boiler with some hackberry, walnut, mulberry, and box elder.

    Still calling for snow this weekend. Anywhere from 4-6 to 8-12 depending on where you look. We'll see.

    Load of ash in the fireview. Windy outside, the front yard is just soft enough I dare not bringing more wood up in the pickup.

    Sounds like a fun project. Nice thick metal in those propane bottles. Will you leave one end square for a door and vent?

    Down here in Central KY the predition is for 6 to 10 inches of snow and 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. Were getting prepared to be out of power for the next few days. Since I work for the electric utility, I'll not get to spend any of it at home. Momma will have to take care of the stove and the generator. Not looking forward to it.

    Deererainman yes, bless the utilities crews during these times.

    I spent portions of the day cutting up oak treetops that seem to never end. Finally busted through like the hedgerows of 1940’s France. Stacked splits in the shed and threw oak limbs in the boiler through the day.

    below twenty tonight with 8pm winds. Decided to run the tap upstairs. The disaster of Christmas Eve two years past has me gun shy.

    just in from loading the boiler, to at least 10 tomorrow. Don5 feel like loading at first light.

    hunker down boys and girls
