The Heat Is On...Then Off...Then On...Then Off

Irv spent another 'men only' weekend addressing the various heating issues-furnace and fireplaces-as well as feverishly painting.  This time moving into the final unpainted room on the first floor which we call 'the fireplace room' or 'the library' or 'that other room'.

Good news.  The heat was on when Irv arrived.  Bad news.  The heat stopped when he left (out of propane).  Oh dear.  Luckily the chimney sweep showed up Friday and Irv was able to spend his evenings in front of a fire with a book.  

For a nice change of pace,  he was able to take a walk on the hiking trails behind the house that are part of the 995 acre Barn Island Wildlife Management Area.  Here is a link to the hiking map (the hippie house is located near the entrance). www.theday.com/assets/pdf/NL80928210.PDF
