I love being
outside on my patio. We have one in the backyard and one in the front yard. The
one out back has been abandoned by yours truly in favor of the front one. Years
ago, before the onslaught of today's fire-pits... I decided I wanted to enjoyed
a fire outside. But there was nothing commercially available for that purpose
except chimineas. Because we couldn't handle the weight of one of those,
without the possibility of breaking it, we had to come up with another
solution. Building something was not cost effective. So... we gave it a lot of
thought and couldn't figure anything else out. Then... one day I was exploring
a quaint antique store in Indiana

It is a neat looking stove! Any possibility you can get a neighbor teen to clean up the area for you for some spending money for themselves?
betty
I wish I lived near you. I would gladly clear out a place for your treasured potbelly stove. Whatever you do, don't sell it. Keep it for old time's sake. Who knows, perhaps you'll be able to use it again.
that stove is wonderful! i'd hire someone to clean the area up and then build fires!
What a unique idea for having an outdoor fire. I don't have any place to put something like that here but used to love the campfire when we camped. Hope you find a way to use it or let someone else have it. It does look forlorn sitting there.
I want one of those.
Oh, I'd keep it! Maybe you have a church you can call to see if they have some young people looking for odd jobs to do some of the clearing for you.
I vote keep it. Nice yard decoration.
I think if you're no longer using it it might be time to pass the happiness along. Someone else might get great pleasure out of using it for a planter to beautify their yard, or, like you, as a unique fire pit.
I love potbellied stoves. I would keep it.
Tarrytarre, that is what has happened to Joe and I and it just doesn't seem right. I know it happens to all of us. Sounds like you had a lot of enjoyment while you could. Thanks for hanging in there with me through thick and thin with my blog problems.
Gosh, I hope you can find someone to clear the overgrowth! Here in Phoenix, it's a struggle to find anyone who wants to do yardwork (aside from the giant landscape companies that charge boo-coo bucks.)
I've no words of advice, but would be loathe to part with that sweet stove. It's pretty endearing!
Oh I love it!! I wish I had one like it as well!!
Taryterre,
It's funny that you did this post because we were just given a new fire pit from my sister-in-law because she was downsizing and didn't need it. Husband likes it, it's one of those new ones. But that old stove!!! Oh my gosh, I love it! I don't think I would give that away. You don't see them around any more. It's what we call a "classic" around here.
love,
~Sheri
