Then put in the inside pipe. Shovelled out the remains of last seasons fire and taking a quick break. Fixing to go and light the first fire.

Got all the outside stuff finished up, then came inside and got back to clearing the piles from around the stove. Got enough cleared.

And back home. Put the pipe together and after finding and sharpening a drill bit put holes in it and added screws, then got it put up.

Then on to Lowe’s to find their prices were higher by several $$$ per stick on the flue pipe. So back to TS where we got 3 pieces.

Put a couple of signs up for Marcia, then talked to and traded some stuff with Kenny and Cyndi. Went by Tractor Supply and checked prices.

Went to estate sale. Cat got a few things, after a quick walk through I sat in the truck. Then to Valley Antiques and finished pricing.

Right in the middle of the sequential vortex from hell. Got to do about a hundred things in order to get another hundred done. 🙁

Not looking forward to that this year at all. Tis gonna be a really big job. But tis that or spend more than we make on fuel for heat.

Tis that time of year to move the sleeping quarters upstairs and office into the area by the heater.

Gonna have to go to the big box store and get some more flue pipe. Looking like we need another 4 or 5 sections to get heat back in here.

Been out clearing brush so I can get to the flue for the wood stove. Got it to where I can see what needs to be done now anyway.

Hoping to get the wood stove somewhat installed/reinstalled tomorrow. Then can start gathering wood for the winter.

Got food in the microwave reheating for supper. Imported Harp Lager in glass in front of me. Tis cool in here but not too bad.

Will try to get out there tomorrow and see what’s left. Did a fair amount at the store in Piedmont today work wise but little business wise.

Home again. Got the stuff at Valley Antiques priced and arranged but didn’t make it to the estate sale as there was no more time.
