But I know it's not for everyone. You have to be very careful and on top of things like installing a safe stove and chimney. And then keeping that chimney clean and free from build-up. Like so much involved with the "simple life," it ain't always so simple!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-70048472348506587472013-09-08T12:05:00.923-05:002013-09-08T12:05:00.923-05:00I used to love splitting wood when we had a firepl...I used to love splitting wood when we had a fireplace.

Isn't it funny that doing even hard physical work doesn't bother a person if they enjoy the process?
