Thank You!
Gerry and I built the core a few months ahead of time, we probably had 3 weeks of casual work to complete it.
Moving her indoors took us ten days from removing the wood gobbler to the first fire.
So, just over a month.
She is beautiful and efficient, and oh-so warm to hang out with, we both love her!
Heating with bricks rather than wood makes much more sense.

Also would eat traditional (high garlic) Italian 6-7 times a week. Don’t know if it’s a factor but also drank and smoked a lot. All of my friends would constantly be burning ticks off each other every trip. The last couple years I hardly eat it anymore and just this year got my first tick.
Another thing I was thinking about is PH; drinking a lot of alkaline water vs not.
As far as mosquitoes, if you look at how an anti radar missile works, they behave similar. They fly upwind towards you chasing both your exhaled CO2 and your pheromones.
Flies, wasps, bees, things with compound eyes seem to be responsive to colors. If I wear baby blue mowing the back acres by the ponds I get terrorized. Fluorescent orange seems to trigger them as well. Any one with a salt gun (the best $40 I’ve ever spent) paint the orange tip of the gun black and you’ll notice they don’t fly off before you can get a bead on them near as much.
LOL. Well....I smoke and I drink, garlic notwithstanding. No effect. Thankfully no ticks around here. Wasps & bees don't bother regardless of what I wear. I like all bugs except mosquitoes and bad flies. I have to look up what the salt gun is LOL
