Those have been actual temps. Hardly any humidity though, as we have had less than 2 inches of moisture since January first. Pretty sure we could dry oak in 3 months this year if we had any. Lol
The trees are already turning here and its chilly at night. Feeling a little squirrely, so might be a bit colder.
It's getting very cool here for August, the spiders are invading everywhere. I pray we don't have an early winter/late summer this year! Had a couple of those of the last 10 years and they're not fun. I bought extra wood if pellets aren't available or sky high $$.
With the price of gas and oil being sky high this year, I wonder if we will see more home fires caused by people burning green wood that have never burned before. This winter could get ugly.
Mostly pellets since fall 2014, just wood when it's really bad outside. But I have some hoard now Wish I could buy some from you.
HHO seems to be trending down. Was $5.xx/G after the war started. Was $4.xx/G a week back, and is $3.94/G now.
We've had plenty of over 100 days and still have at least a few left. But we've also had more than a few inches of rain
Now that makes sense. So buy motor oil, B&C oil, whatever else right now. Yike. I know a few people who high oil prices will really hurt.
Caught a clip of the NH news this morning, the “experts” say they fully expect home heating oil to be 8-9$ a gallon this winter. Home heating oil prices set to skyrocket in winter
If HHO goes up that high. I expect we'll hear about more house fires. People will be trying to use anything to stay warm.
Or what we did, oil burner keeps the place from freezing, kerosene burner keeps one room or a couple rooms comfortable. Not optimal. Maybe I'll put up some kero, we have kero units we'll not use again.
It is. But, it can be used in one room to space heat, rather than burning oil to heat the whole place to "comfortable". We used the oil burner the first couple years, just to keep the place from freezing, and kero to heat the great room. The small heater would heat the space on a gallon a day. Then we'd move it to the bedroom end to keep them warmer at night when it got really cold....less than a gallon per night...so 2G/day at the coldest time. No electric needed. The furnace ate 5G/day to keep from freezing, which included shutting some rooms off. Plus whatever damage to the electric bill. I reckon we could have heat the critical rooms on 3 G kero/day, the bigger unit in the kitchen, and the smaller kero unit in the great room, without the furnace.
