Service Update

Last week's storm wrapped half an inch of clear ice around our woodpile. Undeterred, we chopped through the night, and we chopped through the dawn, only to find that the wood was not only soaking wet, but too big to fit in the woodstove.
Last time this problem came up, Dad-O-Rama suggested cutting about six inches out of the middle of each piece, which might have worked, except that the chunks were also too big around to fit through the opening on the stovetop. In former days, this would have been resolved with a little wedge and sledge action, but we tore a muscle over the summer putting a new t-post in the garden fence, so that's out. The prospect of spending time without electricity moved our fellow citizens to buy up every stick of prepackaged firewood in the county, and we didn't have a convenient $140.00 lying around to have some guy come out with a pickup truck.
Here's how it all fits together: The computer lives with the Intermit connection in the living room, which is home to the woodstove. The heating vent going in to said living room sends out no heat. With no wood to put in the woodstove, and no heat coming out of the heating vent, room temperature is eight or ten degrees above whatever is going on outside, at the moment, about 45 degrees.
We'll have more to say when the weather in here improves.
