Nope, not tired of it. Have not bought any heating oil in 6 years and don't have any reason to. Been burning in the heatmor since 1st of oct. and will till mid may unless gets warm early. Also burn in the basement insert when really cold to offset the cold concrete floors, this is also my emergency backup or when the power is out heat, just can't run the blower. I cut mainly in the winter to beat the heat, poison ivy, oak, sumak, and skeeters, oh and those adorable ticks, deer, and wood. So nope, I love it but when it gets warm I'll be ready to go fishin.

In summary, the earth is wobbling pretty good and it's seasonal tilt has widened considerably. The moon is playing rodeo all over the sky every two weeks. This wreaks havoc with earth's weather systems in numerous ways, as well as increases crustal stresses, which accounts for the increase in tsunami and 'quaketivity'.
Most people don't know that earth's crust is 3 to 4 times thinner proportionally speaking, than an eggshell.

Nah.
I like the routine, and the cutting. The constantly new puzzle of felling every tree and playing with the saws.
What I could live without is stacking and hauling the splits.
Split and stack, load into the truck and restack in the ready rack, and then transfer to the deck rack.
I need a 360' conveyor from the woodpile.
Same here, The handlin twice part is gettin older by the cord!!! I tried payin a teenager up the road a few bucks to help me for the day....yeah right!!! After the first 2 loads on the dump truck (1 cord) his back hurt?!?! WTF!!
I need to look into buildin a 500' conveyor!

I'm not tired of burning yet but we're getting into cabin fever time. It's more comfortable this year since we got some insulation in this 100 year old house.
Haven't looked at this thread in a while and I see I have a request a few days back. Sorry AB. Here is your picture. Right off the truck into the cellar.

....tired....what tired of getting all of that money I could be spending on propane and tired of having a warm toasty home....not a chance!
The only propane I'm burning is for my fish house heater.
Burning wood means I'm still on ice...ye.....haawwwww!

gas companies
be carful when you estimate you propane gas cost, i have a gas furnace for back up and a/c in the summer and a gas stove. when the first propane provider figured out i was only using a little gas he put me to the bottom of the delivery list and we ran out twice, no big deal except mother couldn`t cook! and i kept calling them and they ignored me. i swicthed to a diferent company with a resonable rate fro gas, then after the first year my gas went from 55cents a liter(we r in canada) to 95 cents, the anual rental on tanks $150, haserdous material dilivery, $20 each time thy come, and they come when they want, not when you call. I should have gone eletric if it werent for the gas cooking stove. we heat with wood so my yearly gas bill is only about $500 but alot of that is stupid little charges in the fine print of the contract. good luck and dont get rid of your wood stove!

I am afraid to see our Electric bill for this month, its gonna really hurt. Unfortunately I have no way to burn wood for the few times we need Heat. But It would be sufficient as long as it didn't lose cooling in the summer.
I flipped a coin.............
and went with the warming this time.I traded my snowmobile for another motorcycle yesterday.

Although the moon is smaller than the earth, there is great comfort in knowing that it is also much further away. (hickup)

I haven't ever ate any Minn. crappie, but i have ate my share of Oklahoma crappie. We mostly have white crappie. Nice! Ok back to the post. I am like some of you in the fact that I don't have to use wood for my only heat. I do heat and air for a living, but enjoy using the wood insert to heat our house. It may get to 0 once or twice a winter, but not for very long. I like cutting the wood and just being outside. Sure somtimes it's a pain, but overall I :greenchainsaw::greenchainsaw::greenchainsaw:wouldn't trade it for a room full of new furnaces, well maybe a whole room full!

I don't know if Farm Girl got the furnace, but I'd say stick with the wood. I know I've cut over 5000 crds since 1981 and it hasn't hurt me one bit.
She probably just needs a faster saw. Lol

We have a furnace in the house but it is old and I am afraid it will quit and need to be replaced. We burn wood now and it really saves a lot of money. There is not enough wood on this farm so we have to get wood elsewhere. That is kinda fun.

I've burned wood all my life, I hate it. But I can't afford the lump sums of LP.
I would like to eventually switch to geo-thermal but i don't want to rely on electric.

Stick to it. :agree2: You don't see beer belly loggers or waddling firewood harvesters around parking in handicapped spaces meant originally for amputees from combat.
You're a rarity in this obese world: you can go out, work, get heat, be outdoors, build the bod many ways. Damn, around here with ocean, woods, rural roads, we never see any kids playing out. When close to 1/2 of all elementary kids are obese ( not just "overweight" ) who's going to be our shield in the future ? Sad.
How many do you know that can say that they 'made' something today ? Never quit. Never.
Big rant................:angry2:

Stop wasting this valuable resource and burning it in your fire places and furnaces.

I burnt at every home i ever lived at. I now have plenty of wood right where i live and was thinking about giving it up . Tired of the mess in the house and having to bring in the wood every day . I got a OWB and just love it . Less work and no mess inside . Wife gets a a break from the work of tending the stove when i'm not home too. Still kept the stove for the ambience efect.
