Over just trying to run the wood furnace...yep.
Our place is about 1800 sq ft plus the 1200 ft basement, usually use around 4-5 cord total...and haven't used any fuel oil in years now...

I would say average...its a 1940 capecod so those are notorious for being difficult to insulate well...I'm working on beefing the insulation/air sealing up a little...
That’s one thing I want to do is lay vapor barrier and spray the cellar I can’t feel air flow but you can feel the heat move in the house with a good windy day (over 30mph) so insulation would help cut my wood appetite with a new furnace as well too.
