lots of slab wood in the green house
i have to make kindling each day
i go out and get huge stumps and split them
they are 2 feet across and almost 3 feet high
i cannot carry that much wood in.... KARL
my ankle and back won't take it...
so i load up the wheel barrow (commercial size)
and push it up a ramp right into the house
so that the wheel barrow is taking the weight
i build a fire at 4:30 am as the house is real cold
then i keep the fire burning until around 11:00 pm
i scour craigs list for more free wood opportunities
getting rare to find now...
the wood stove we have ...a fireplace insert rectangular
box isn't all that efficient... and i am going thru 2-3
wheel barrows per day depending on how cold it is.
i could just use the electric heaters but then
you end up with a huge electric bill at the end of the month
joe the plumber is saving my butt by telling me about oil cares an organization that helps people in a hardship.... they came today to do an evaluation of the system and soon we will have hot showers again and HEAT and that'll release me from wood JAIL.........
and i'll be able to leave home without worry of water pipes freezing once again
the thought of hot showers soon is better than CHRISTMAS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the NEXT step will be hearing from the PLUMBER !!
that volunteered to do the work which is just a clean-out
and replacing some valves. And yes the system WAS flooded just like you said....
: JOE determined this over the phone and KNOWS his STUFF!

i stock piled it
