Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Natural gas furnace and I have a fireplace. Hope to start collecting wood and setup the fireplace (need grate, screen, etc), so I can make use of it next winter.

 

You can have some of my cold! Currently 6, feels like -19.

For heat, my first house had an oil furnace but we replaced it with natural gas and central air. Second house was natural gas, as is my current. There's also 2 gas fireplaces.

The pharmacy run was pretty uneventful for me but I'm betting the person in the Challenger would have a few different comments. They were going about 15mph and braking constantly when I was comfortable doing almost 30. A few blocks away from my house visibility was so bad I couldn't see past my hood in spots. My wife would have been griping at me to turn around so I'm glad I went alone.

 

I got a little wood in because it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow then be bitter cold (to me anyway). Don’t have anywhere to put much more so hopefully this will do. It’s 90% oak, 10% poplar.

 

Burn that poplar for summer air cooling!

 

I’m gonna use it in the morning to get that oak back to rolling

 

I was thinking you would go more off the grid I see I was wrong .

Have a Great get away in any case.

Merry Christmas

 

We are pretty off grid from what we’re used to but they have good internet here

 

My wife built us a cookie

 

When she says you can only have one...

 

Black coffee and cookies! Now we’re talking my language!!

 

Leave it better than you found it, good on you sir!

 

No wood pellets option on the poll?

 

Central heat here. And since my wife pays the electric bill I'm perfectly content with it.

 

Today I opened the patio door and found a couple of Chachalacas hanging out.

 

Added that and electric

 

We heat with propane and wood pellets.

After finding out more. It involved the tanks used for nital etching parts. Safety director poured something into the nitric acid solution. Caused a cloud that smelled of rotten apples.
Because it involved the safety director we may never know the whole story.

 

We use wood most days, but have a boiler for hot water and baseboard, and a heat pump as well. It’s nice to have options.

 

I hope nobody was put at risk. I also hope the Safety Director got learned.
