Off our hillside. We've got 20 acres of pine trees. Neighbors with
less personal resources get a permit from the lumber company (it's

Fireplaces are a waste of wood. not only are they inefficient in the
task of making heat from wood but you have a gaping hole in your house

This winter, since I'm unemployed, we stepped up the
