That is the definition for "Adequate Shelter", and deals with agricultural animals.... livestock and poultry. The definition of "Animal" applies to 3.2-6570, which is about cruelty to to animals. It does not say that you have to have a dog house if your dog is an inside pet. |

It was a fascinating video. Thanks! I can't say how something like that would work on this rock. It might work in some places in Hawaii but as a general rule, we have no provisions for heating homes. My parent's home had an all gas kitchen. In the 60's this was touted as the latest in modern kitchen technology. You save a lot of money by using a gas stove in Hawaii but what I remember most about the kitchen while growing up was that it was a hot, uncomfortable, place. I was at my dad's place during Thanksgiving and had to use their gas range. This was a modern gas range with beefy burners but it just infuriated me. I turned on the flame and then waited and waited for the pan to get hot. It seemed like a really long time. What I'd like is a burner that can heat up a pan in 3 seconds or less. Hee hee. |

The smoke and smell would make my wife somewhat nauseous. She was a young healthy gal with no respiratory problems so I suppose that air was a health hazard for many folks. My guess is that wood fires are banned in Lynnwood these days. collecting firewood used to be a big thing here in the summer. Pack your tent, Coleman stove and cooler, chainsaw and some food. Hitch the trailer to the 4x4 and head up into the mountains for the weekend. Everyone had a good spot for dead trees and that's where you went. Sawed it all into logs about fireplace length and then packed up and went home after a wonderful weekend out in nature. The husband would then spend and hour or two in the evening or weekends splitting wood. Everyone chipped in to stack the wood pile. That doesn't happen much anymore. People buy their wood already split by the cord. And even they don't get to use it much. You want to have a fire in the fireplace on Christmas but there is generally a burning ban then. Gas fireplaces are the way to go now. Frankly, I don't miss the mess of cleaning out the ash chute or vacuuming up the crumbles that fall off the logs. Fireplaces/stoves are just a homage to our cave ancestors that needed that fire. Fireplaces in the home just suck cold air in from someplace else in the house to nurture what the fire sends up the chimney. Janet US |

I have a ventless LPG heater almost identical to the picture you posted . It has all the drawbacks you claim for wood heat - uneven heating and the only place it's warm is right in front of it . Our wood stove resides in a corner of the living room with a fan mounted in a hole in the bedroom/living room wall to circulate the heat . As I said , I designed this house with wood heat in mind ... and the only low-IQ nutcase I see here is you . You should just give up and admit that you're WRONG about this , just as you are with so many things . Unless you LIKE being made out to be a fool -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed .

My grandmother had a Rayburn, modelled after the AGA and when we lived on a poultry farm on the Devonshire moors, we had an AGA. How I loved it, it even had those old wooden hangers up to the ceiling to dry/air washing, in such a climate, pre-dryers, wonderful :) |

What I cannot replicate from modern ovens is how they managed to slow roast joints of meat without them drying out. I have tried regular basting of mine, but to no avail. I have now been reduced to wrap them tightly in foil including some form of fat and this is much closer to their results, but still not quite there. Possibly the meat in those far off days was not bred to be so lean, and there was more fat contained within the joints that were sold by the local butcher? |

I have a ventless LPG heater almost identical to the >picture you posted . It has all the drawbacks you claim for wood heat - There's zero heat up a chimney, no fercocktah mess and laborious wood and ashes, and no polluted home. You sir are king of the BSers. Why do I need a chainsaw, I don't, but it's too costly otherwise to have someone remove the fallen trees so I cut some myself, however I can sometimes find a neighbor who will do the deed for the firewood. Right now I'm waiting for the local tree removal service to take down five gigantic Norway spruce, one fell in the last wind storm, they are too old so need to go... as soon as the ground freezes solid for him to bring in his heavy equipment. >uneven heating and the only place it's warm is right in front of it . Then you don't know how to locate gas heaters. They are available in several sizes, place the correct size in each room. Mine is in my basement, heats the basement evenly and in turn heats the entire house evenly. I have a small ventless gas heater in the shop attached behind my detached garage now a garden shed. That 10,000 BTU unit works great for that small space, but I don't use it much as I don't do much in winter there anymore. I used to do a lot of tool sharpening but not so much anymore, basically I really don't feel like it, but I still sharpen twist drills for some local contractors, never know when a favor is needed. >Our wood stove resides in a corner of the living room with a fan mounted >in a hole in the bedroom/living room wall to circulate the heat .

I probably have more split firewood in my barn left from the last owner than you have... those split logs make good skids to keep my tractor implements up off the ground. I don't burn any wood in the monster water jacketed wood stove he left behind, it's all disconnected now but is too big and heavy to bring up from the basement, so no one wants it even for free... Barny the cat adopted it as his sleeping spot. |

Lives and sleeps inside there. It might be an issue if a dog is tied up without shade or shelter of any type, the the code cited by Carol applies to agricultural animals. Obviously I dog that lives indoors does not have to have its own outdoor dog house. Never the less, someone who reads that cited code might be gullible enough to believe it. At least one person thought it was real pertinent enough to post the link. |

I don't get it. For two of us, it runs every other day. Everything comes out sparkling clean and it only takes 3 to 5 minutes to put it all away. Everything is sanitized too, a benefit during cold season. |

We have one but I very rarely use it. I find it easier to do the dishes by hand after each meal. I rinse them, wash them and put them in the rack to dry and it is a lot easier than loading and unloading the machine. |
