We Appreciate Simple Pleasures in Hard Times
It's 18 degrees outside and the wind is picking up, so the chill factor is probably 8 degrees. The weather in Floyd today is brisk.
Fortunately, we decided a long time ago that we would install one of those new-fangled wood burning stoves with an outside air feed. Our medium-sized wood stove keeps our 1650 sq ft house comfortably warm with no other heat sources except for tiny bathroom heaters in the remote ends of the house.
Our 3 1/2 acre property supplies enough oak firewood that we do not expect to need any other fuel source for the next four years. Our winter fuel costs include chainsaw parts, gasoline, and bar oil but not much more.
