oodstove is today's agenda. Getting parts for it anyway. A leak happened in the ring the other night and it is dripping water onto the woodstove for a good sizzle every 30-60 seconds. The red arrow shows the damage. I was going to replace only the lower 2 sections of pipe that are starting to go bad, until that leak showed up. But I think it would behoove me to replace the whole lot and do it right. I have a friend coming to visit this upcoming week and since I am not comfortable with running about on a tin roof encrusted with snow by myself, I would like a witness to take me to the emergency room if I fall. The good news however, is there is alot of snow on that side of the house, so as long as I do not smuck the dog meat freezer on my way down, it might be a comfortable fall. Now I need to build a ladder since I do not have one long enough. I have alot of 2x4's and screws. 

Snow is called for all week. And it is coming down now.
