Wood Stove

I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.

John Henry - The Music - Lyrics - Folk I am working on a "storytelling" project for Toastmasters. I have chosen "John Henry" as my folktale. It is a *great* story, legend, folktale, and biography. It is about America and the incrediblely hard work that we do as Americans. We are ready for the Llamas today!. Our farm is being inspected and then they will arrive. It is Exciting!. The picture shows our llama house and their paddock. Over the summer we will have more fence put in, but this should be fine for now.
