Yup, that time of the season...
1. I still have to finish cleaning mine out, it's mostly done.
2. Plus, get the new stove hooked up by building the heat exchanger and hooking it into the chimney and hooking up all the bells and whistles, temp gauges, draft gauge, Coaltrol, etc...
3. AND build my coal bin
4. order 3-4 tons for next season....my coal supplier is only 8 miles down the road....just need to get on "on the list" for delivery.
also putting in new windows in the house and more weatherstripping/insulation....should help. Phew....all in spare time!! (what's that?) hahaha.
