I need to learn how to heat again

You new home is very pretty. You could go old fashioned and install wood stoves in every bedroom for the Victorian look.

That is one big home with a beautiful setting. Yard maintenance in general will keep you busy... Old owners give you any idea of how much wood they go through in a typical year?

Stabbin cabin? Was there a murder?

Can't see: "Safari can't load this page because the address is invalid."

In any case, 10k sq ft of uninsulated log wall? Welcome to the bigs. Hope you have some stacking space, cuz you're gonna need it.

If thats a cabin, my place must be one of those tiny homes

Not many Charlie Farley music fans I guess
"Welcome to the stabbin cabin its goin' down like snow in aspin Pocker chips that cope was in the dixie cup we got a cold beer and a diry ..."

Prepare the wood processor! We need to heat the stabb'in cabin for the weekend

Looks really nice. Maybe there is a copper mine underneath your new pond.

Pretty sure that someone boosted the saturation and color for the pond water in that shot. It does not look natural. Should be a great playground regardless.

I think it's pond water treatment. It clears the water and gives it that Caribbean look. I don't know what it is called.

Potassium Permanganate?

Smurf juice?

After heating our house for the past 10 years with an insert and supplemental propane/electric we are now moving on. If everything goes as planned we will be in a 10.000 sq ft log cabin that we signed a contract last week to buy. It has an OWB, which I know little about, but there is room for two inserts/stoves should I choose to kill myself. Either way, I am looking forward to spending the rest of my days in this lil shack, we call the "stabbin cabin"

You and I have very different definisions for the word "cabin". You say, "cabin". I say, "mansion"!

Gatorade?

It looks like the blue liquid in a porta pottie!

Maybe it looks better in person but if it looks as thick as it looks in that picture I wouldn't even let my dog swim in it. We add polymers to cause all the fine junk to coagulate together into chunks big enough to precipitate out of solution. The polymers are blue as delivered but never make the water blue, the dilution clears it up. That stuff really improves clarity.

But that color. Whoa. Almost looks like a lime addition. Something white.

Someone was skeptical about "uninsulated log walls."

Have no fear. I have a log cabin made of six inch thick logs. I am on top of a mountain in North Carolina and it gets very cold here and the wind blow strong all winter long.
This is the most snug, warmest house I ever lived in. If it is well built and chinked six inches of log wall is well insulated.
