I grew up in an seasoned farmhouse in the rural country, which afforded myself and others lots of hiking and camping possibilities as a kid.
However, our apartment was falling apart in a lot of ways.
My Dad wanted our father to make improvements as time went on, although she kept making excuses all of the time not to service a hole in the attic or a leaking pipe in the basement. It’s hard to have patience with a girl prefer this when she works in the construction industry in the first arena, often possessing the exact skills required for seeing these jobs through to completion. The only thing she was nice about was chopping wood in the Autumn, winter, and Spring seasons. One luck of living on a rural property with a lot of forested acres was the unbridled access to free firewood. So many trees grew up out of the ground prefer weeds that the two of us would have never run out of firewood living at that property, and that’s just from harvesting from trees that have already hit the ground on their own accord. Since temperatures correctly dropped below zero for upwards to many months out of the year, the two of us burned through a lot of firewood. All of us had a central heating system that ran on propane, but the cost of gas is always fancy in rural areas especially. Instead of just burning the wood in the seasoned fireplace, the two of us got a wood stove instead. Heat rises, so a lot of the heat energy generated by a fire in a fireplace just goes up the chimney and is lost in the process. A wood stove emits a lot more heat energy via radiant transfer just based on how one is designed.
