One of the things we have missed most since moving is our wood stove, especially when it's -26 Celcius outside. On Monday the guys came and installed the stove and chimney. It is big enough to heat the entire house (2528 sq/ft) and looks very nice. Daryl installed the tile hearth and we have plans to put stone on the walls behind it.Having a wood stove means we must get firewood. In this area of B.C, all one has to do is drive 15 minutes, and you can find it lying all over the bush. As I'm sure you all know (yeah, right)every Canadian household is allowed to take 2 cords of wood per year from crown land. It is a bit of work for some of it, but it's great exercise and the dogs love going. Karen doesn't mind it either, even though she routinely comes home covered in bruises and exhausted.
