We have heated with a wood stove for a number of years now. If I use the heater in the house I get in trouble, but only because the little lady doesn’t like it. She prefers the feel of the wood stove. I think once you use a stove, you’ll love it. I just put up another cord of wood in the last couple of days. I use about two cords a year. Using woods heats you up a few ways. One when you cut it, once when you load it up, again when you stack it and again when you bring it into the house. It’s work but I like using a chain saw. If you go this route, remember one thing, when cutting with a chain saw, don’t let your mind wander. Keep your focus on cutting the wood. Take your mind off of cutting and the saw will get you. Also, if you get tired, put the saw away, it’s not worth it. There’s an old saying....”If you use a saw long enough, it will get you.” That’s not to say it will but just be aware of what you are doing and use a sharp chain and a good saw.
I could learn, and better yet I wouldn’t drink your stash.
It is a travesty, plain and simple.
RE: I have worked very, very HARD at getting my electric bill down from a high of $400/month (ex ran a business out of here) to the $120/month it is now.
Wow! Great job!
On a more important note... Go Pack Go!
You know we have it down to a science!! : )
That doesn’t take “Juice!” LOL!!!
FUBO!
Feds: competition concerns in Duke-Progress merger
Emery P. Dalesio, AP Business Writer, On Sunday October 2, 2011, 6:58 pm EDT
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal energy regulators are giving Duke Energy and Progress Energy 60 days to describe how they would remedy anticompetitive effects of their merger in their North Carolina and South Carolina home markets if they’re allowed to form the country’s largest electric company.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order late Friday that conditionally approved Charlotte-based Duke Energy’s purchase of Raleigh-based Progress Energy, but it told the companies to propose solutions to protect competition in the Carolinas. The agency said remedies could include selling off power plants, building new transmission lines, or joining a regional transmission authority.
Update the grids! Cancel the pollution controls!! That should help ease the situation.
Obama promised higher energy bills before he was elected. It was no secret. Why should the idiots who voted for him in 2008 care now?
“when cutting with a chain saw, don’t let your mind wander. Keep your focus on cutting the wood. Take your mind off of cutting and the saw will get you.

Also, you need to wear chainsaw chaps while cutting. Otherwise, if you cut the femoral artery, you will bleed out quickly.
“I’m old, beat-up, broke, unemployed, worn out, used hard and put away wet. (Did I mention homely?)”
Damn, I hate competition!
Good thing I look smashing by candlelight.

That’s alright, I can’t see that well in candlelight anyway. LOL
"Perfection is the enemy of the good."
Dunno. Never tried.
Good point. I have never worn them but I should. Thanks for the reminder. Some times we need to get hit upside the head.
Ummm, I could convert to Mormonism and have multiple wives?
{{{{shudder}}}}
Right on man. Call our representatives with this. We need leaders with cajones.
