Damn is my house cold.[views:2533][posts:24]______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 9:41am - the_reverend ""] One of my wall heaters just says "Lo" for the temp. and the other unit says it's around 40. I'm thinking of leaving work right after my staff meeting and going home with a ceramic heater. Before I left, I lit the wood stove and set the dishwasher to turn on in 4hrs. I hope I don't come home to a mess. |

| __________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 9:45am - largefreakatzero ""] Dude, there is no reason to live in a 40 degree house. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 9:49am - AndrewBastard ""] wood burns...once it burns it goes out and stops producing heat. You have to re-wood it every 2 hours or so. I dont even try going to our cabin in Sandwich past October. Its brutal. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:18am - the_reverend ""] I can live just fine in 40 degrees. I'm just afraid of the pipes not being happy. the year before I moved into my place, they had the heat off and it was -20 for a week and the pipes burst. They did replace all the copper pipes with plastic ones. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:24am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i've heard that a great way to stay warm during these very cold winter months is to do a barrel roll |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:25am - the_reverend ""] that's how I sleep. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:44am - largefreakatzero ""] 15 below at my house this morning. But we have this weird thing called "heat" that we turn on. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:51am - the_reverend ""] In my house, I have a gas/wood stove, but it won't stay going. I haven't called the company about that yet. Then I have a wall-heater in the bathroom that is from 1980's and works even if the power is off (natural gas), but it isn't putting out enough heat this year to even heat the bathroom. IDK why. http://fireforless.com/empire-10-000-btu-d...ent-wall-furnace-ng-dv210sgnat.html it's like that, but much much much older. then I have 2 gas wall units. One never worked since I've been in the place. The other works when it wants. Last night, I saw it's temperature reading just drop and drop and drop until it just said Lo and even the fan on it isn't on. The problem is that most of the units out there don't come with blowers built in anymore. What I need to do is remove one of them completely and replace the other one with something like this http://fireforless.com/empire-35-000-btu-d...nt-wall-furnace---ng-dv35sgnat.html Which is the newer version of what I have. 35K BTU would work perfectly. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:52am - the_reverend ""] the problem for me right now is that I don't have $2-3K to drop on heat. And the times of the year that I do have that money that I could spend, it's warm and I'm not planning for cold. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] get one of those amish heaters. they cost about $400-$500 but can heat huuuuge spaces quickly and for very little energy costs. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:06am - the_reverend ""] they are only about 5,000 BTUs and I need 35,000 BTUs. so 7 of them would take up a lot of room and would be $3500 instead of $1,000 for the 35,000BTU unit I want. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:10am - FuckIsMySignature ""] oh shit. well that sucks then. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 2:55pm - posbleak ""] Get a bunch and put 'em on a rotisserie. Add some BBQ sauce for a bonus midnight snack. |

Not having money for oil comes to mind... I'm in my living room as we speak with a space heater blowing full blast in my face and its still freezing in here. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 5:54pm - the_reverend ""] I went home with a $39.99 electric heater. I hope my cats don't knock it over. The houe was fine. My dishwashr never went on after 4hrs though. I called stove stores about my wood/gas stove and they again said that wood/gas stoves don't exist. The suggested just cleaning it out and replacing the gaskts on the door. I will probably do that at lunch tomorrow and just burn a shit ton of wood while I'm at home tomorrow. |
