Ain't nothing like the storms a couple weeks ago when the tool du jour
out here was the chain saw.

This year we bought five cords of wood which I thought would really be
overkill. It's dwindling fast, the stove runs on 100% duty cycle since
early December :-(

Yikes! You do use a lot of wood! It's been a pretty mild winter
here. Only once below zero, I think. Good thing, since I have
electric heat.


Plus one ton of pellets. Used to be two cord plus 1/2 a ton of pellets,
same house. Global warming sure ain't happening here.

Are you heating the entire state? Does the governator know you're
the state's single largest contributor to global warming (forgetting
the CO2)?

Oh, and it's really pouring right now.

We got about an inch of snow today. No big deal, but we went
through a bunch of windshield washing fluid (looking at houses).


Find one with a big honking wood stove. Any other fuel has the potential
to cause a huge slurping sound in your bank account. Some people on
electric heat out here pay as much in a month as a season's worth of
firewood costs us.

Pretty much everything is gas around here. They told me the
apartment was electric because the gas doesn't run this far out.
Last week I got to wondering about the guy's honesty. The houses he
builds right around the corner are all gas.
