@Roy Ward Awesome Roy!

The builder says they don’t miter the posts because the wood swells and it’ll now and/or crack.

I built a wood fired heat exchanger from natural gas pipe and the shell of an RV water holding tank.

@Danny Wood I'd like to hear more about that.

@Roy CleevesThanks Roy, I’ll poke around a bit to see if I know anyone who can help me out from there.

@Robert Wood It really depends on your goals.   

@Roy Cleeves thanks for the feedback!!

While in the home we added a wood burning fire place, poured a concrete patio, freshened up the landscape, and did a few other odds and ends.
