I think this is the latest I ever remember us still getting firewood in. Don't know why it worked out like that but it just has...been so very busy. Still have a huge pile of oak and cherry to split that was given to us by an uncle...it's over at his place, so makes it a tad more difficult to just work on it as one pleases. Still have a load of oak coming that we bought too..that's the easy stuff, just needing moved up on the porch and into the shed.
The fix I jimmied on the splitter performed well thus far and I'm quite pleased with it....saved us $80 with that little $1 part. The splitter cranked right up this year and I thank God for it! Nothing worse than needing a machine and it won't start, standing their pulling and pulling and nothing happening.
That stove sure feels good on a frosty morning, don't it? I can't imagine going back to forced air or electric heat after all these years with wood heat...they just don't heat the same, not near the same level of warmth that works its way right down to the core.
