2018 - Day 313/52 - Friday...1616...

I am learning more and more about wood burning stove installations in a fire place. We had a stove installed in the fireplace in the house in 2010. Had a chimney sweep come out a couple months ago, said there were some issues (including evidence of a 'chimney fire', so we are working to get someone to come out and check it and tell us what we need to do. Without even any inkling of wrong-doing, the place that sold us the stove and recommended the installer to us has begun a campaign that they have no liability. Another person they referred us to (this week) is kind of giving us the impression that the stove we bought is not intended to be installed into the style of fireplace we have. It is going to be a long week I am afraid. All we want to do is use the stove without the fear in the back of our minds that we are going to burn the house down.

We shall see...

Unfortunately, the skunk sightings are becoming pretty common these days. Saw one of them this morning when I was going out to let the chickens loose. Scampering (meandering) its' way to the front barn and crawling under it. Later in the morning as I was cleaning the polaris and the skimmer on the pool, there was the faint odor of skunk in the back. Who knows. Whatever.

I intend to sleep a little bit later tomorrow morning! YAY ME!

Deeds, Actions, Changes, WOOD STOVES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
