Still At It

Even though we have been settled into our new home in the woods for some time now, we still have the old place.
And we do use it for various things. We still plan on working the old garden. In fact we were over there the other day planting some taters. And whilst His Sweetie was busy with other matters, The Fuzz was tackling this stove pipe issue.
The Fuzz's Sweetie has been working on some projects over there, and with the colder weather she has been using the wood stove to keep warm. While he was cleaning the chimney the other day, he discovered that there wasn't much stovepipe left to clean.
This was not a good situation. So, once again, it was time for a trip to that Home Improvement Store. The two middle sections seemed to have a bit of life left in them, so he decided to go for the quick fix this time. He purchased an elbow and one section of pipe. He also picked up some chainsaw related items for another project*. Back at the house, he put it all back together. Here's a look at this patched-up heating system. With luck, it should make it through 'till warm weather.



*We'll try to update you on this one soon.
