While we don't heat out house with wood, I do have a fireplace that right now is more for show since it puts out pretty much no heat. My plan is to get an insert since I have an endless supply of wood should I need/want it. I kind of miss the days of "doing wood". flyingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160022751157014548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-15183288844536978182012-10-07T23:58:50.429-04:002012-10-07T23:58:50.429-04:00That's beautiful!

As wonderful and independent as that sounds it requires massive time to procure the wood from the bush each year to get us through the winter. My husband , his father and three brothers all work collaboratively to help everyone get the job done.It really would not work any other waycargillwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948839908080737239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-84235024580243066362012-10-07T13:06:46.410-04:002012-10-07T13:06:46.410-04:00I completely agree Stephanie!
