I was always the weird one when we went camping - I’d chop the wood, build the fire, and the smoke always found me (revenge or a gift from the spirits??). The feel and smell of the wood - the dynamics of it all just amazes me. Your house sounds fantastic **LurkMeister**. Perhaps one day you will be able to get that woodowrking room finished. ---
