5. My house
was built in the 1790s. It used to be one of the first stagecoach stations west of the Ft Stanwix Treaty line. The downstairs is open, with a central chimney that has three fireplaces and a Dutch bread oven. Before my accident, we heated primarily with wood. My boys weren't always as fond of my grandfather's two man saw as I was, though they found it resulted in their being a heck of a lot stronger and enjoying greater endurance that other high school athletes they competed with. My younger son can use an ax to take apart fallen trees in our woods as fast as anyone I've ever seen. I miss doing those things.
