When we first started heating with wood, I was surprised to find we needed fires more often in the spring than the fall.

I realized it was because the ground had frozen at least 2 feet deep, and that cold kept radiating into the basement long past the time the weather warmed up outside in the spring.

I never thought of that. We don’t have a basement!

In your next house, you need to fix that.

My normal consulting fee applies.
