Another Godin woodstove is ours, where this time? North of Troyes in NE France. It's a ways, a little over 200 miles sorta outside Paris a bit nearer Belgium than anywhere else. Condition of the item is unknown, nothing in the seller's description helped but it was CHEAP! 42 Euros worth of cast iron and rust. We take a chance you know, the sports we are. Like betting on horses cause you like their tails. It's a bit smaller than the one we won a week or two ago but is similar in style. Fingers are crossed.
Found the wallpaper for the guest bedroom today, trois in shades of grey, fanciful design full of wild animals and angelic people. Will go well in the room with black accents and bright colors. We'll start hanging the paper sometime next week.
Our buddies A&R dropped off about 1/2 a stair of firewood for us this morning, it's a secret where it came from but it is dry and ready to go. Surprisingly we still need heat in the evening as the temp drops into the 40's at night and the house gets chilly. Payment for said wood is in the form of a computer repair I'm doing for them after a power supply died a while back. The supply is on order from Amazon.fr and should arrive in the next few days. They probably need new surge protectors as the French power grid is NOT the best thing for these switching power supplies. The surge protection gizmos go to hell after they protect a device once or twice (if you are lucky) after that they are gone and no longer protect anything. Replace once a year to be absolutely safe, even then...it happens so often here that might not be often enough. And buy good ones, cheapies are worthless.
