Chris,

Still in the 30's here......  :p     36!  What's a woodburner? A wood stove to heat with?

NJ- Yeah, it actually hooks into your existing heat ducts to heat the home instead of a gas furnace. The one I want actually heats up your hot water to so you save money on the gas bill for the water heater too lol.

Chris,

Is it something new?  We always heated with wood in WA.  There is so much wood there and we had 40 acres to pick through.  :-)

NJ- Yeah they are somewhat new. I am sure it is alot like the ones you used back in WA.... just a little more technology into them as they can be controlled by a thermostat, and have a blower just like a normal furnace to spread the heat through your homes duct work to heat the entire home (without having to have all the room doors open lol). Also like I said the one I want to get has a feature where the water runs through coils that get heated to heat your water for bathing, cooking, etc. which is nice for people like me who have gas water heaters also.

Chris,

Some in WA have their water heaters hooked up to the wood system. We heated a 3000 square foot home with wood.  Sure was a b*tch cutting all that wood!!!!!!

Chris,

10 years ahead? are you sure it's not like 12....*LOL*  Hey, if you have a place to get the wood for free then it's a no-brainer right?

NJ- Its probably a little more than that even.... but you get the point lol. Yeah, we have 20 acres, and I have a tree company that I get alot of wood from.

Chris, great pictures and really good looking lawns! They are so bright green and vibrant. Are you sure that you are not ready to move to Texas? I could get you lots of business. Our mowing season is all year long with winter rye grass and no snow. Oh yeah, 86 degrees and sunny here today :-)~

Hi Chris, You are providing such a valuable service. When a client drives by and the the yard isn't up to par they keeping on driving to the next home on their list. Nice work!

Cynthia- Thank you. And your so right, if the yard isn't looking good, many will assume the interior is the same way, so no matter how nice the interior is they will never see it as they have already moved on to the next one. A beautiful yard gets buyers inside plain and simple :-D

it is hard to keep any grass around here alive! The heat gets to the grass soooo fast!

Raylene- Don't quote me on this but I have heard that Bermuda (type of grass) does good in those warm climates like TX... only problem is if memory serves me correct it does require a bit of water.... :-\.... but basically I can get any kind of grass to grow really good up here as long as it gets the water it needs LOL
