RE: Wood Splitting Woes
Haha, true: my host-dad used to say: "Why would I pay for split wood when I have a bunch of teenage boys at home?" And he was right. I never slept so well as when I was tired from chopping wood, while the fire was crackling int the wood stove.
I am sure that was part of the reasoning for farmers as well, more labor. Sad to think that now a days his saying is looked on as corporal punishment by FAR too many people, instead of the chore that it is.

I know, so sad! And the heat of the wood fire, which I always liked for being so cozy, is seen as dusty and dirty. Maybe it is, though I'd take it any day over the radiator heat of a central heating system, let alone that of an electric space heater.
We have central heat but I have it turned off in preference to the fireplace. The heat is a different type of warm, more present and enveloping feeling. Plus the smell of the wood is super comforting as well.
