42 years ago I built my house and that was the year that Howard Duff wrote the book "How to Survive the Coming Hard Times". Side note: I did all the things he said waiting for the arrival and it never came....but the proceeds from his book probably insulated him from any that may have ventured his way. Wink!
I designed it to be self sufficient, with minimum exposure to the elements. In the center was an "Earth" brand wood stove that heated the whole house. Over the years I expanded the house from 1400 sq. ft. to around 2500 and I had to add supplemental heating but the original part was still fed by the wood stove.

So I bit the bullet and replaced it with a Propane unit with a thermostat. Still getting used to the convenience......isn't all that hard. At 79 I'm starting to see things differently.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
