Where there's smoke, there's fire......and gassification

[McKraut]

Just a very quick thank you to everyone that has helped me directly, and indirectly, through this forum. I have been helped more then I can say. Free advice that is good is getting harder to find. I'm sure I will be back here in a day or two asking for more help, but in the meantime --

Thanks again

If you're ever driving by Fulton County, PA, stop by and I'll buy you a beer, or two.

Well, thank you.
I was very happy when my wife told me I had to get the boiler out of the house. She knew I'd been itching to build something.
I brought down 3 big pines and a poplar (for siding) and had a neighbor come and mill the logs. I've always admired timber-framing so I decided to timber-frame the building. Since the kids are gone, I got to do all the work by myself (my wife was ground support). I love manual labor and building things - it is the way I keep my sanity. I was quite pleased with the way the building has turned out. Now I've got 3 year's worth of firewood crammed in there. Some day I may actually take a day off and relax.

Yeh, I had a problem with it yesterday. It kept telling me I was using too much space, so I deleted most of it. I will try to fix it.
I'm just trying to get by being quiet and shy...

Hopefully if there is gassification, there is no smoke.

Hopefully there is smoke - but that it is upstream of the serious fire.

Smoke came first, then came gasification, then came a warm house.

very nice man cave, how much wood is 3 years worth?

 

[McKraut]

Sorry...only 1 "s" in gasification

The last 15+ years I burned between 5 to 7 cords a year. I use 128 cubic feet as my cord measurement. I figure I squeezed in about 25 cords in there. As long as the global warming keeps helping me out, I think I'll be good for at least 3 years.

Hah - notice I increased the signature limits to 4 lines and 360 words....

Thank you. Brevity is not my specialty. Except this time. Well, maybe not.
