Woodstove + Polar Vortex = Update

With Alaska deciding to move to Indiana this week❄💨❄💨❄, we have had several people checking up on us yesterday and today.

SO,... Even though it feels like we are living inside one of these icicles right now.......
Polar Vortex means Living Inside an Icicle!
We just want to let you all know that we have been plenty warm in the last few days.

Getting Toasty!
The 70° F that you see on our inside thermometer is actually about the lowest temperature that we have had. It seems to be running about 70°-80° F on a consistent basis.

We do have a couple of small space heaters that we may run, if needed. But, they have actually been used quite infrequently.

Our Lifesaver!!!
Yes, we are living in a "shed" that is being converted into a house.  However, these Amish-built sheds are well-constructed, and ours already has insulation. We have covered our windows with plastic, and the doorways have "snakes" blocking any drafts at the bottom.

Our woodstove is very economical, and uses a renewable resource from a sawmill. To him, they are scraps. To us, a blessing!

We are doing just fine this winter!!! How are you doing?

  2. Thanks, Pam! Yeah, I'm never excited to get an electric bill at all. But, I am interested in seeing how much the next one might be. It will be the first one since we've had it.
