A Very Happy Pyromaniac....

   Okay you know how I have told everyone how I have a hard time typing because of the cold in the office.  Guess what ... we now have heat in the house.

   This pass Thursday 3 very big and very nice guys came over and in less than 2 hours we had this....

Okay we already had the dog.

   A brand new (to us) wood stove.  We could have picked it up and installed it ourselves, but I think it would have taken a lot longer than 2 hours.  I also don't think the chimney hole in the roof would look as good as this...

Bud cut that by hand isn't he good.

   Now there is a really, really, happy pyromaniac in the house ...

Okay the flash washed me out. I swear I'm not a ghost.  I think...

  I had to take this last picture for history...

Our first of many fires.

  Our first night with the wood stove burning the temperature outside was 24 degrees Fahrenheit, but the temperature in the bedroom didn't get below 50 degrees.

  That was great for us.  I am sure the house will heat up a lot more when we finally get the walls, and ceiling in. 

   I would like to thank Clayton, Bud and Chris of American Chimney Cleaning in Houston Texas for the outstanding job they did and for helping us out with the best price.  If any of you need removal, installation or just cleaning and repair for a fireplace or stove, give them a call.  I'm not sure how far out of Houston they go so you guys outside of Texas and the United States might be out of luck.

  Oh and remember this tree (check out what happened here)...

   It had just better watch out, we have a chainsaw and a wood stove and know how to use them.





Oh wow.  I can now shop for a whole
new set of things for the house....
