The Pellets Have Arrived

September 24, 2008

The pellets were delivered yesterday, all four tons of them. That’s 8,000 pounds.

What did I do with all 8,000 pounds of pellets? I moved all 8,000 pounds of pellets downstairs, alone. I did that all by myself in about an hour and a half. I don’t mean to brag about my feats of strength, I really don’t.

This feat was really nothing for me, moving all 8,000 pounds of pellets, I mean. It was annoying, because the wheelbarrow had a tire that was half flat and it was dark outside, but otherwise, everything was OK. I also had to navigate through the little doggy land mines, but I mostly made it.

I put between 7 and 8 bags of pellets in each wheelbarrow load. At times, things got a little hairy going down the slight hill into the backyard, but again, this was but a minor challenge. When you have as much training in this type of thing as I do, it’s really simple.

Can someone please pat me on the back?

Of course I had to get a fire going in the pellet stove last night. The stove works really great, but I have to seal up the pipes again, just like the old stove. They leak slightly, which kind of stinks. I’ll get it.

The cool part is that when I am standing on the stairs between the basement and the main floor, I can feel a breeze going down, when I put my hand down towards the stairs and a breeze going up, when I put my hand up near the ceiling.

I think it’s going to work out just fine.

    Consider this a pat on the back for you my good man. šŸ™‚
    I’m dreading that this is going to be what I find myself doing very shortly. My new Eocteck pellet stove and I are about to become the best of friends and the pellets and I are going to be having a love hate relationship. šŸ˜‰
