Good morning.
School's are open today after being closed on Monday!! :mrgreen:
Now they're calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow, another 8 inches. Sigh. :|
Probably won't do the last farm market on Wednesday, there won't be anyone there.

I didn't manage to get it running, but a small engine guy down the road just picked it up and will see what he can figure out. He said he would get it back to me today cause they're calling for another 8" tonight.

Whooeeee!!! thermometer says -3 and the winds blowin about 20mph... Driveway drifted in and the wife TRIED to make it.. needless to say.. I've been out shoveling and pushing while SHE sat in the car... fingers are tingling, ears burn.. what nose?
Now.. you would THINK that whoever got STUCK would do the digging.. SO.. I believe REWARD should be in order!!!!

I cleaned the chimney Friday. I might start a fire later this week.

Greg, I have been burning since October and I count on a warm/dry day in December to do a mid-season chimney clean but that didn't happen. Is this first time firing yours?

Yeah, it's more for looking at rather than heat. I'll probably build a fire Friday (I've got to work through Thursday).

I see, my stove is for primary heating when the temps are below 32. The heat pump is not not efficient at all below 32. I had heating the bills the first year in the 650 to 800 range until installed the wood stove. Now, my bills do not exceed 250 in the winter months.

WOW!!! we heat with electric (heat pump) and the coldest months it is less than $220. Electric everything, no gas. Have been looking into the outside hot water set ups, always a tree or two laying around the farm.

I think it is over a month now since I let the fire out. Wood stove is the entire heat. 13 Below F. or -25 C out there right now. Just went out and plugged in the VW Diesel cause i got an 8 a.m. appointment to have my teeth sharpened.

I use about 12 face cords or as you may call it ricks of wood a year. I have it dried at least a year ahead and no creosote accumulates aside from what falls down into the cleanout. That amounts to about a gallon or bit more a year. If you are burning soft wood or unseasone at all the chimney cleaning is a big deal for sure. They are scary when they light off!
