Was kind of 'fresh' here this morning (36 degrees)... Mrs Ranch said she wanted a fire & encouraged the dogs to 'voice their opinions' on the subject too. Needless to say, they all got their wish... It will be toasty in the family room shortly.
It's been a bit chilly here too and I know it's only a matter of time before the wife will be wanting a fire too. Love the fireplace the only thing I hate is how how the main room becomes after awhile, thus turning off the furnace and then making the entire house cold.
