Preparing for Winter

With the weather getting colder and winter fast approaching it is that time of year to have wood delivered. We got a new kaminofen (pictured below) installed in the house and can't wait to use it.
Most german houses don't have fireplaces installed, but instead have a wood burning stove called a "kaminofen." Our house uses propane which is very expensive, so for expense purposes this is going to be so nice to have for many years to come.

The kids couldn't wait to help daddy with the wood. 

 Jason's original plan was to store the wood under the deck. But our neighbor Herr Lill came over and advised otherwise and spent most of the day building what you see below to store it on our back patio. We didn't ask him, he just came over and build the pieces in his wood shop in his barn. We are so thankful for such wonderful neighbors here.
 One side...
 and then the other. 
Our kaminofen.
Now we just need the chimney guy to come and inspect it so we can put it to use!
