There's nothing better than a crackling fire going in the fireplace on a Sunday afternoon and watching the football games .......
But at today's rates & a bit of "old age" creeping up... I have given up and find it hard to justify heating the house with wood these past few years!
Split & Stacking - back breaking
moving wood to house - constant back breaker & wife always pissed at the mess I always seem to create
Constant attention - damn stove has a bigger hunger for logs than feeding my (now grown) kidz
At the end of the day, if you turn all the man hours spent into "cost"....With the rates of Propane vs. Elec. vs Oil ...... sadly, it's just simply easier to turn up the thermostat !
