And then there was fire!

After much research and debate, we settled on a Jotul wood stove with a cook top, and what a difference it has made. Of course when the sun is shining the house really warms up, but the stove gets us to a toasty 67 or so. My DH and our dear carpenter friend installed it last week and a salesman who frequents the shop gave us some firewood to get us by until we can cut some (what a great guy!). All this happened just in time for the first snow storm of the season! What luck!

Counter tops are being installed this Friday so I will be doing my holiday baking and making gifts this weekend. I don't like waiting until the last minute, but I thought I'd wait until I had counter tops.

Peace
