Heating with wood burners/fire places only?

[Beekissed]

Yep...Mom's 81 and I can hear her chunking wood into the stove right now to bank it up for the night. We have a handicap ramp on the front of the house so we can get the wood carts up and down...lets hope that's all we have to use it for, for a good while yet.

We heat exclusively with a wood stove in the winter. I couldn't live without a wood stove in the house. I grew up with one and it is the only way to heat. I love how it heats up everything in the house unlike a furnace that blows warm air around only dissipate moments later. We live on the edge of BLM land and along with the land we own, fire wood is free. Manual labor is the only cost. Heats you up several times....cutting, splitting, stacking and burning! Ha! Well you can add cleaning out the stove as well to the list of heating you up....the dusting required around here is just crazy!!

Dust is a country accent!

Yeah it is....ha! I am such a clean freak and all other aspects of my home are immaculate. However you could write wash me/clean me on any surface all the time around here.

Sumi, are you trying to butter me up to come dust or clean your place?

I am just teasing.

Speaking of wood, time to dust up the house, I mean clean out the wood stove!

No dust here. Rain, rain, rain… We got mud though!

Do not even mention the M word around here! Ha! Much of it is in the frozen state right now and should stay that way until M season starts back up in the spring.

Some of this mud come spring could swallow an entire car.

That's bad! I only have it pull my boots off at times.

LOL...I have lost shoes in mud holes too...just sucks them right off your foot!
