That was really magnificent, I must admit, because he didn’t buy bricks, he made his own bricks out of clay, plus used them to build the fireplace
After every one of us graduated from college I went back to my hometown to find a job. My best acquaintance Carl had other ideas, though! He didn’t want to get a job at all, he wanted to move out to the middle of nowhere plus live off the land. I thought it was admirable, to try to leave civilization behind plus live a life of solitude, but it definitely wasn’t an appealing lifestyle to me. Some years passed, plus I stayed in contact with Carl. He asked myself and others to come visit him last winter, plus stay for a couple weeks in his hand-built log cabin. It sounded care about a fun plan at the time. I live in the deep south, plus labor for an cooling system manufacturer. I’m not an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C tech plus to be perfectly even-handed I don’t know the first thing about cooling systems. I labor in accounting, so what I do is calculate payroll plus expenses for the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier execs. The only thing I know about an cooling system is how to labor the control unit, however carl had no cooling system, of course, because he had no electricity! He really lived off the land, plus in the depths of Winter the only source of heating he had was the brick fireplace. That was really magnificent, I must admit, because he didn’t buy bricks, he made his own bricks out of clay, plus used them to build the fireplace. The people I was with and I needed a lot of firewood to keep the fireplace blazing, which meant I had to spend a couple hours a morning cutting wood. Never again!
