Alternative fuel heat source is coming to HasliVal!

I am dancing for joy, one of my wishes for Christmas is coming true. I am getting a Lodi Republic 1750 woodstove! It's being installed next week. Isn't it just the bee's knees? I looked at the disposable income and thought "What the heck?"

We also had a dead tree come down in the last windstorm and I am thinking its branches will keep the ole homestead toasty warm this Winter. Of course Texas Winters don't pack the wallop that Ohio or New York Winters do, but it can get downright nasty here in January and February. I feel blessed to know that I can keep my kids warm and fed should the power go out in a storm.

One more baby step towards self sufficiency. The next lump of disposable income goes to a solar panel to power the well.
