I had heating the bills the first year in the 650 to 800 range until installed the wood stove. Now, my bills do not exceed 250 in the winter months.

WOW!!! we heat with electric (heat pump) and the coldest months it is less than $220. Electric everything, no gas. Have been looking into the outside hot water set ups, always a tree or two laying around the farm.

Use all the electricity you want to. We'll make more.

In the fall I can see the lights on top of the bridge over Ft. Loudon and at night can here the horn blow for the lock master. Just think of all the free electric that went by with all of the flood gates opened up.

Thats Fahrenheit not Celsius !!! 23 here this morning so its like a heat wave rolled through last night..
Spent the day yesterday shoveling the pond, and then spraying it with water so wife and company can SKATE on it today... She was AWFULLY happy I did all that shoveling .. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

I have a heatmore wood stove. I built a 24 by 24 wood shed, and set the Heatmore back in the corner of it, ran the pipes into the house.. It heats the house, and the hot water... so long as the stove is going we can take showers two hours long and never run out of hot water.. I had a concrete shower built with two shower heads and a glass door.. so I can take a shower with her, or just set my chair up outside the glass door...

It's ALL in the planning!!!
We have an LP Gas furnace that heats the water in the event the wood stove goes out, and we also have AC/HEAT heads on the walls for air conditioning in the summer and heat in spring and fall when you dont want to heat the concrete up yet.. Without figuring how much money I spend on Chainsaw gas and gas for the Dually its hard to say how much we spend a month.. but it CANT be very much.. Oh, we had a well drilled so no water bill either... Just need to buy the 24000KW Wind generator!!!!!

A chilly 25 F here this morning.

Best part is three of my four girls are home, one in Germany but home soon also.
Nothing better than family!
Cooking going on in the kitchen and the house is starting to smell yummy.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas. Wow, Scott, you have it going on with the heat. I have entertained the thought of an outdoor burner. One reason being I have five women in my house and no hot water left for dad..ha! I caught your two shower head purpose too, heheh. I have 2 heads in mine too.

G, I will be home soon for my warm Christmas fun...little less than 5 hours of patrol left.

Cold (for here) here...got down to 28 last night. Supposed to go to low 20's tonight. Guess I'll let the water drip. Pipes froze a couple of years ago, no damage, but I'm still "gun shy".

It was 45F a little while ago. However, look at the picture attached and see if you can tell when the cold front came through. It's gonna be cold for the next week or so. I've started a fire in the fireplace. Man alive! The wind has really picked up. This graph is from my home weather station:

Perry · « **Reply #94 on:** January 02, 2014, 05:54:30 pm »

-20 C here right now. Blizzard warning in effect for tonight and tomorrow. Up to 12" of snow too.

LazyBkpr · « **Reply #97 on:** January 03, 2014, 08:35:32 am »

About the same here I guess 0 Deg F with 15 mph winds.. Man its decided to be an ugly winter so far... I guess the bunions and old injuries and even the fuzzy caterpillars were correct in their predictions for a COLD winter....

Slowmodem · « **Reply #98 on:** January 03, 2014, 12:02:52 pm »

17F with 10 mph winds this morning. Brrrr!

I'm gonna throw another log on the fire!

Had a low of 24 this morning with a 10 mile an hour wind, don't know the wind chill, all I know it was cold and going down to 16 by Monday.
