Clean up

Silas loves to go above and beyond.

Here he is cleaning the pool clothes in the creek.

He's a great kid and I love him for it.

Emerson's just watching and being cute.

Not sure what to make of this

Hey we need a woodburner ... okay I'll get right on it.

When you live in the country you should always have a secondary heat source in the 

event of a power outage. We kept our eye out, got a woodburner at a really good deal 

from the local Trading Post and once we decided on the placement I started the install.

Prepped and ready for stone

I collected stone from the creek bed, cutted them down to size 

and Judith and the kids cleaned them up

Mapping out the stones

Got my rhythm going

Almost done

The next day the mantle went up

Sealed and ready for grout

Through the roof and ready for the chimney pipe

Double wall to single wall

Dad there a fire in there

Warm and toasty

Silas turns 8

Everyone loves a party!

Cause the power you're supplying ... It's electrifying.
