Probably a good idea. The firemen cut blocks out of a lake here to make a ice slide. Probably 200 yds long and you go like hell. The kids love it.
No the wife let's it go out during the day and I get it going again before bed. With the boiler going the wood stove don't really need to burn as long as the sun's out.
No suh. Half day inside tomorrow on the trim job and I'm done. I'm gonna have to cut some more firewood for the shop though if'n it dont start getting above 15° a little more often
