But I'm pretty old
interesting....why the hop....or is that normal
Funny, I remember HER stove, but not ours
my grand parents used theier wood stove right up to the mid 70's
house always had that wood smell
@Gailm I remember my neighbor stove(s) also, they had two wood burners. TANKS. One was beautifully converted to gas. Those were pieces of art.
grama would be up at 5 getting the stove started to cook breakfast/coffee
that is so cool
i often think about what it was like to have infants back then, man that must have been some hard work
welp you didn't have a how to book
make sure you have shelter, clothing , cloth diapers, water always there to keep your infant clean so it wouldn't get rashes or skin diseases
brb
lol true @woodsracer544
Yes, Gramma would be up early getting her stove started, too
yessss @Gailm
Now I remember she had one before she moved
who would have the tools and strength to chop that wood lol
them books just fubarr you now a days.....
When she moved into a different house, they had to clear out the bees
from the attic
and from the wood shed
They were honey bees
you would have to build a forge start a fire , mine for ore , wow just all that mess to make an axe
We had lots of honey
them old wood kitchen stoves are gold mines.....big dollar......cabin kitchen
life is a fight....fighting is living
reason farmers farm....they relish the fight
"who would have the tools and strength to chop that wood lol" .... me... I have a 8 cord pile I am working on now actually! @Zyrenn
plus about 5 cut and split....
hahahahahah @ColdBrewedFreedom
sorry, my phone rang
@ColdBrewedFreedom neighbor has hydralic splitter......i still swing a splitter....i enjoy it.....
@ColdBrewedFreedom i tried chopping wood and my aim is horrible
The wood I have, you'd never get through it with a maul... need the splitter!
he thinks i'm nutz....maybe so......
i would definitely die from hypothermia in the winter
gnarly birch and maple... some of the oak would split by hand...
i have the power behind the swing, but my aim is horrible
hell of a lot of work, but when it's 20 below zero out and that stove is cranking it's nice... plus it all come off the property so no real cost to me...
that is super
if i had a wood stove or fire place i would just get coal or pay someone to chop wood lol
