ive been saying for a few years now that i am going to get a year ahead, but usually doesnt materialize... i work too slow. its just me and my 10 year old doing 90% of the work, so we really cant process that much. we burn about 8 full cord a year so it requires a few trees. usually we cut on my father in laws land, but with his desicion to let the loggers come in and chip most of it, we ordered a log load this year... 6 1/2 cord for $800... so i just have to finish cutting and splitting that (about 3 cords left) and im good for next year with what we had cut last summer thats already stacked.
Add in the three times the warmth value...once cutting, once stacking and once burning....no better heat imo! Add in the romantic mood setter for those ..ahem.. moments, and it doesn't get any better
It sure makes perfect sense to me Andy...the task of cutting, splitting, stacking and carting around wood has always seemed more like fun than work to me
Working with chainsaws? nooo...playing with chainsaws!
My folks burn wood primarily in a self-standing ceramic wood-burning stove and it's very efficient. Plus all the tree we cut down and burn are mature and they would only rot anyways and be worthless.
My next house will absolutely have a fireplace and it will be used quite a bit.
I agree...after you get that 85hp running you should post a completed resto thread. The starcrafts will be well represented in that forum soon
Geez if only there was someone you knew on the mod team.....
