Feeling the Heat
7 here at the moment -12 real feel. House was at 64 downstairs when I got home a few hours ago. I said F it and turned the oil furnace on, 1st to make sure it is running right, 2nd, I can.
Need to make sure it works when I am visiting the lil woman in 2 weeks. I am even going to get the oil tank filled(3rd fill and 1-100 g delivery in 9 years . Have to run the furnace while away for the week.
Still, the furnace is backup/supplement to the wood heat. I splurged and set the thermostat to 68, that's plenty warm enough for me.
I'm sure somewhere down the road, when I have the house paid off, and getting too hard to get around, I'll just turn the thermostat up and say fug it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have been struggling with less than perfect wood and am ready to say folk it too. I have my heat set at 60 and the furnace is already running regularly in the middle of the nights and days when I'm not home. The kids are coming this weekend I'm just going to turn it up to 70 and let the stove go out for a bit I think. I have kept it lit for three weeks now...that's a pretty good run I guess but I'm cold and overworked lol.
