Heat

When I was growing up we had a trash burner in the kitchen that would heat the whole house. We also had a natural gas heater but the trash burner was warmer. I always loved backing my butt up to it to warm up on a cold winter day.

When Mom decided to rent the house out she removed the trash burner and it's been sitting in her basement since then, about 40 years. I REALLY, really want it for the Pioche house. The power goes out so often and when its only 22* outside, having a wood burning stove will keep us toasty.  Mom has said we could have it but I didn't feel like she really meant it when I asked if we could put it in the Pioche house. Is it because Mom is 85 and might never travel to Pioche to see our house? Maybe. Is it because she just doesn't want me to have it? Another maybe. Or is she letting Candie have it for her house? That's a very strong probably. All I know is that it would be perfect for our tiny home.

They don't use a lot of wood, the fire box is actually pretty small. The ashes fall through the grates on the bottom and are collected in the bin below it. 

This stove pictured isn't Moms, it's just online but this is the same kind.

Mom told me she wants to give me more money, for our next vacation, but I have no idea how much it might be. I have a feeling she's giving Heather a HUGE amount of money for a down payment on a house somewhere. H made an offer but that's all I know. I hope she's going to let Ashleigh live with her, since neither of them needs to be mooching off Mom & Don any longer, and when Jordan gets sick of his dad again then he can go live with H too.

Mom & Don gave half the business to Jordan & that lazy shit hasn't done shit to help run it.
