ok kids, i need to build a hearth
anybody know how?
something in the corner...

stove board?
brick?
stone?

hell, you'd think i could find something
on the web
but NOOOOO...apparently nobody
is doing this stuff now-a-days...

just you wait..it's gonna be the next big thing
diy hearth kit
fire extinguisher included

which reminds me
i almost burned the house down last night
sigh...
there was a log that was TOO BIG to fit in the stove
but i was determined
and it caught on fire
and was sticking halfway out of the stove
and i couldn't get it in the stove
and then it was REALLY on fire
and i put the gloves on
hauled it out of the stove
and put it in the ash pan
then took it outside
and dumped it in the snow

it wasn't until i sat back down
that i admitted how scared i was
