SLIDE:
Thanks for that.
We do very well because of our fireplaces and lots of wood we have stashed. But the basement no longer has a wood stove.
I just didn’t want to move the couch and turn on the baseboard heater. I loaned my other electric heater to my daughter and so the one I was left with is too small to heat our somewhat large TV/Computer room in the basement given the cold outside.
Today the sun is out, the temperature is up inside and out. Had to take off one of the sweaters. I turned the heater down to keep it steady at 70 degrees.
We don’t really have to go to the store, unless we run out of milk-and we could always use the powdered if push came to shove. We are in the middle of garden planning and seed starting too.
I love my woodstove. Everyday in the winter I come home from work and fire up the stove and it heats up my entire house. Once it gets going there is really no visible smoke. Most of my neighbors don’t even know I use a woodstove.
