1st night with the Fall 2022 Woodstove start. [View all]

Been rainy wet and cool for 3 days now. Winds picking up tonight and I don't want to increase the inside temp by cranking the oil. $4,50 a Gallon...close to double from last year!

Anyways, I like the woodstove heat better, Will be shutting it down tomorrow for a chimney clean.....then stacking the 2.5 cords of wood I have, in between house painting over the next 4 weeks. Great to have projects to look forward to,
