You probably never have roundabout Zero to minus Degrees where you live? This is the wood we need to heat our house during winter time and we also have an additional electricity heating, just in case. And this is not the coldest place on earth to live. I think someone living in Alaska or Sibiria would laugh about this amount of wood :-)
You see, this is the real great thing about HIVE. Where else can you see such everyday things from different cultures?
