Light work.....

 I think it's a measure of how the world is changing that the stove we ordered months back has just arrived. Lots of people are switching from oil and gas to wood. How long will wood continue to be cheap at this rate, not long.




So today it was get the stove day. Avid readers will remember the last one which nearly broke the 806.  And how as we lowered the forks on the forklift the suspension came down and jammed under the tailgate of the car.

Deja vu,

The drive home was really interesting, mind you the trip out was not exactly a barrel of laughs as the council has decided to save it's salt and some of the roads were towards the interesting side of having a slide...

Still we got there and at this end did another dance along the short rescue ladder to get the damn thing out. This one is a lot lighter so it only took three of us to swear the thing into the house not 6 like last time.

 Still once they are where they need to be you pretty much leave a log stove alone.

That's good, it is a once in a lifetime job.

That's exactly how many times I fancy doing it again.

Well actually it is not done yet, the stove is only in through the door.
