Things I've Learned

[Gary O']

You seem very organized. Maybe a bit ocd?

I'm very OCD
My lady is a clean freak
I'm the neat nut, organize ogre

Made a good team up there

You make a good team for sure.
I’m OCD and my man’s the opposite of clean freak. I go through phases of clean freak but at times it’s very discouraging

We have 4 racks that hold a chord of wood. They get split at the beginning of the spring and by next fall most of it is dry. We are usually a year ahead of time for seasoning wood.

Your Woodstocks look similar to ours.
It’s a lot of work but rewarding. I like the idea of being self reliant when it comes to heat. Our house gets so warm that our heat pump shuts itself off plenty of times.

Yeah, at times our Earth stove would blow us out of our 200sf cabin
Tempted to run outside and make naked snow angels

I’m just glad our Woodstove is down in the basement. If it was on the top floor , we’d be far too warm. Luckily you can open some windows

It’s extra nice during power outs. It heats our 3000 square foot home likes it’s a little cabin.
We have a fan pushing the warm air upstairs and it works so well. This house definitely was an upsize instead of a downsize.

For about 36 years we have heated with wood from our forest. It is a lot of work, cutting, splitting, hauling, stacking, building and maintaining the fire, but for us, worth it. This winter was unusually warm. We prepared about 3 cords, and only used about one. We won't need much for next winter.

Been up here just over 30 years now, use propane and wood heat and love it. Both work well even when the power goes off, which still happens.
Half an hour or so (depending on the roads) from a village for the basics in supplies.
This is perfect
