Wood Stove

Image
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.
I am in the middle of loading the truck with radio treasures. Duane and I are headed to the Horseheads/Elmira Hamfest today. It is foggy and dark out there. I just rebuilt my computer OS again! I am getting the kinks out of it and loading all the stuff you get used to.
Community Speechcraft I have been too busy to blog. I am starting a six week speech class this week. I am catching up on my homework. I went to a leadership meeting in Waterloo this weekend. I found water in the tractor fuel again. I have some guy coming to pick up the flail mower to modify it. It is budget time at work. I fixed the electric toothbrush yesterday. We made some awesome haddock primavera Saturday for my Sister, Cousins, and Mom. I have to get the tire fixed on the truck today and take the old dishwasher to the dump.
