apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't know, Maxwell... I commented on the original post (apparently, we read the same blogs, haha) - most firewood comes with bugs, bees and mold. I would NOT want that in my house. Sure...it's fine enough for the photoshoot, but actually living with it is a definite no.

My first thought was the same as bfootnovellista. I grew up in a home entirely heated with wood and there are very very good reasons not to store wood inside long term.

Besides the bugs, spiders, mold and tendency of cut up trees to constantly shed small chips of wood and moss, there is the safety issue--all that fuel IN your home. That's why smart wood stove owners store their fuel supply a distance away from the house.

hehe people who've actually lived w/ firewood know this is a very, very bad idea.
