comment Will wrapping the stove pipes with copper pipes increase wood stove efficiency?
I disagree about the soft woods contributing more creosote than hard woods. If anything, hardwoods tend to contribute more creosote than soft, as people tend to burn under-seasoned hardwoods (given the same amount of seasoning time, soft woods tend to dry out much faster than hard). If anything, the soft woods burn hotter than hard woods (and faster), usually providing the temperature required to ignite the creosote from the hard woods.

comment Are those oscillating tools any good?
I can echo your sentiments there. I got the harbor freight version, and was able to easily cut a piece of trim that was already in place after I had new counters put in. I also cut a trim board on the outside of my house that the circular saw couldn't get to, and the reciprocating saw might have worked. The scraper is pretty good too, I used it to scrape paint off my mailbox post, used the triangular sander to sand it down, and then got on to painting, it was a great tool for that job
