Flame On

We have had a very good week staying focused on clean up. The basement is still a long way away from being completed but it is continuing. We have two rooms cleaned and organized and the process is continuing through the rest of the basement.

I have had a stack of wood at the bottom of the basement stairs that has been steadily growing for five years. It's bits and pieces of the house. Flooring, trim, molding, that kind of stuff. I have kept the stack of wood for the purposes of burning it in the fireplace. It finally occurred to me that after five years, it is time to burn it. I want to clean up the space.
So for the last few nights, we have had wonderful fires blazing away in the fireplace. It is the ultimate in ambiance. Nothing says Pacific Northwest Winter like a fire in the fireplace.
