Birch firewood?!! You could harvest it as a cash crop: - Folks pay the store chains around here big bucks for "pretty wood" to just lay there doing nothing in their fancy (useless) foreplaces!!

None of us are. And the drain you would have needed down in it, etc. would have been a nightmare anyway. Count yourself lucky! [thumbzup]

Whoa. We are entering the world now of science fiction: - That truck must be a LOT older than we realize.... :driver::jumpin:

Just now noticed something I missed first go 'round: - Is that plate steel cover in your slab the "lid" to a working pit in your garage?

For the relatively new U.S., that is a major history milestone, and back then they would have been just plain old "Virginia 201st", though not sure how they came up with "201". Cool, though. Thaks for the note!

Whoa. Still in the original wrapper!

Awesome is the word. Got to follow this, too: - Subscribed
