Reminds me of when I was 12 we moved to ups...Oh my! Reminds me of when I was 12 we moved to upstate NY, dad bought a sawmill, built a log cabin one summer while living in our travel trailer. My mom and I canned 800 qts. while he and my brother's built the cabin. 100 acres. bordered by 100's of state land. Anyway, the woodstove in the kitchen that my mom cooked on began to roar and you could hear that dripping like sand that you describe. Then the pipe got beat red! I ran outside and flames were shooting out the flu! Called for dad at the barn. Called the fire dept. CHIMNEY FIRE! Scariest thing ever! Fortunately, it put itself out before they got there and all was well. We had handmade wood shingles on the roof so it's a miracle it didn't burn down. I KNOW exactly how you felt! My heart throbs just thinking about it....<br />I'm proud of you for doing all you do at your young age and you will enjoy hearing the stories your children recount as they grow up. At the time, I wasn't so thrilled all the time about the experience. Mostly I was though. Now it was lifechanging for me. I can be totally self sufficient and it prepared me for here...
