I tell you, at first the thought of using the wood burner scared the CRAP out of me! I guess after living next door to and working for a fire fighter for almost 3 years, and listening to the horror stories of some of the fires, purposely making a fire inside my home terrified me! But after this morning, I totally LOVE it! It was REALLY REALLY cold this morning, like the coldest it’s been this winter! When I first got up the temp on the news was reading 1 degree, but I think that might have been a mistake because a few minutes later the weather lady said it was like 6 or 7 degrees. But either way, THAT’S COLD! And even with the furnace running and a couple of small space heaters to help out, the house was FREEZING!
So my hubby started a fire in the wood burner that I’ve kept going all day…LOL! It’s not a roaring fire now, just some good hot coals! And with the fan on the wood burner on, it REALLY helps keep the house feeling decent! We don’t mind the chilly nights, but when it’s day time and it’s STILL chilly, no thank you! And I’d rather burn a few pieces of wood than kick up the thermostat! The price of bulk LP is through the roof and with the minimum amount for a delivery, it’s just not something we can do right now. So we keep the thermostat set at 64 and supplement!
My son went back to school today. Amazingly, he was up and had eaten before I woke up…LOL! I guess he must have been excited about the thought of going back to school? SCARY! I’m trying to get some housework finished up around here so that I can go tomorrow and get the bills paid and do the shopping I need to do. I also want to take my daughter out to lunch before she goes back to school on Monday! So I’d better stop typing and get busy! TTFN!
