I hadn't thought about the termites, so we will be careful about shaking the wood before we bring it in--thanks very much for the warning, and for your kind words!<BR/><BR/>Chris--We are very excited to finally have what looks in our garage like a huge amount of wood, and we hope it will last us awhile. Fortunately for us, the way the house is configured, the heat from the fireplace heats the most occupied areas, so we hope it will save us some money as well--it seems like a win-win-win situation so far...<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge about wood--it helps a lot!<BR/><BR/>MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-33928440158054104502008-12-11T17:36:00.000-07:002008-12-11T17:36:00.000-07:00That is news I have been looking for over here, an...That is news I have been looking for over here, and great news it is.

Be sure you carefull shake off each chunk as you take it inside so as not get those unwaanted visitors sharing your house.<BR/><BR/>Carl In Wisconsin, I really enjoy your blog by the wayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
