Maybe if you are making a fire outside for making S'mores or something. I really don't want to smell whatever is burning in my woodstove in the house!

I don't either Bruce, but I would much rather smell the light fragrance of mint over oak any day of the week when we open the door to toss a chunk of wood in.

Working in the basement the past two days. Leveling floors that our Amish builder didn't install right. Evidently this guy was asleep at the desk when they studied Amish craftmanship at the local country school cause he sure didn't know what he was doing when he put the floors in. As a result we are having to relevel the floors. Don' t think the guy used a level anywhere on the whole house.

We will probably have to also replace a main floor joist as he used strand board to build an I-beam and the whole thing is buckling.

While down there we discovered a leak in the plumbing. Basement is a crawl space with a root cellar. None of it is finished. So today I crawled back in the crawl space and found the leak wasn't a leak after all. One of the main drain pipes had come detached and was spewing gray water from the kitchen sink and laundry into the crawl space. DH ran to town for parts and got it back together. Now it has to dry out.

Having the wood almost done should mean less work...shouldn't it?

When we decided to get a splitter, DH wanted to go big. So we got a 40 ton. It has split anything he's given it, and I figure it'll outlast us.

We have a 28 ton, Sally. It will go through the toughest hickory we have. Nothing has stopped it yet.

40 ton should be able to split rocks!
