We are heating our home with the wood stove we purchased in Flagstaff, Arizona in 2002. Let's see, that means we have moved it four times!! Do you have any idea how much these things weigh? A lot... Stan did a great job pulling out the gas fireplace that was here and installing the wood stove. He's not quite done, but look at that fire going! Love it!!!! Nothing warms quite like wood. After buying a high efficiency stove like this, they are pricey, we were not going to leave it behind when we left. We still have a few things to go. We are going to tile in front of it. Then Stan will use expandable metal to cover the front and top of the stove so the insulation won't show in the back. But it is work great, heating the whole house. We are using the wood Isaac and Stan harvested at Christmastime.
Stan has also installed our pellet stove. It also works well. We don't have any pellets left, we burned them to make sure everything was working great. Since pellets cost more than the free wood in our yard, we will not be buying pellets this year. During really cold weather, we will probably use both stoves, but mostly the wood stove.
I have a lot of applications out there, but no bidders yet. I don't care what they say, people are prejudiced against older workers, which is amazing, since I can outwork the young ones, hands down! But with Stan getting some unemployment, we are getting by. It will be nice to have a job again. People in the ward are really trying to help us find a job. We really appreciate their help.
I'll post pictures when the area is finished.
