Extra Expense....

Happy February everyone!!!
Kind of glad that January is over! It was an unually expensive month for us. We had just booked our trip to Dominican literally within a day or so our outdoor wood furnace gave up the ghost....
Had we planned on shelling out an insane amount of money within days of each other...nope...
However I tried to rationalize that our previous wood boiler was about 10-12 years old. We bought it used back in 1998 and it has been our sole source of heat for that whole length of time. We cleaned up an amazing amount of burnables in our previous wood boiler and it was no different when we moved to the farm. We moved our boiler with us and it heated our house while we cleaned up fence rows and such.
I don't believe that our previous boiler owed us anything. The poor old beast sits abandoned out back behind the shed, its final resting spot will be at the scrap yard.
Our new beast looks something like this...


It is bright blue! Yep...... bright blue!

Hope to get lots of years out of this baby!
