And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Water holds more heat than stone. My (1920ish?) farmhouse had a wood/gas kitchen stove with a boiler. Would really like a boiler for my woodstove or insert- only ones I have seen are for outside or basement installations
Water is an excellent way to store heat. My solution to a notoriously cold bedroom in the upstairs of my 125 year old farmhouse was to install a 29 gallon aquarium heated to 80°.
Used to have 3 layers of bricks on top of an old wood stove with a black 14 ga. metal shroud to fit the top of the stove so the bricks were invisible. That stove kept the house warm all night. Then I bought a new stove with the reburner in it to burn wood gas. POS is all I can say. Old one is in the shop and would like to get it back in the house.
