    Thinking the same thing. That's WAYYYY too big a screwup to let slide.
    One of the reasons I don't do auto-pay.

    Time to get out the phone and get someone in charge. That’s a big hit and they should restore the funds immediately.

    Hi hoarders. Called my credit union, they are aware of it too from other callers, they said BC/BS said money would be back this afternoon or the latest tomorrow morning, and made arrangements for my mortgage to get paid whether the money is back or not :yes:. Local BC/BS rep just called, he apologized and said the $$ would be reversed by 1:30pm today. Fat lady hasn't sung but I'm a bit relieved to hear the above :)

    ETA, there is only ONE insurance carrier in the State of Wyoming. 1. It was statewide, not just me :eek:

    Afternoon all. Good news for me today.. Its cold and my new woodstove isn't going to keep my shop warm even with 850+ temps. Its for sale. Hope not to take to big of a hit on it. I still have my wood blast furnace but still may upgrade it soon. I must admit Im not real happy with myself . :rolleyes: Hope you all are having a great day.

    Too big an area for it? Would it work if you improved insulation factor a bit? How big is your shop?

    Made some progress out there today. And tired myself out. A few more days like that and I’ll have it in pretty good shape. I just need to get it done before any significant snow. This coming weekend is looking good.

    Its only 1300 sf but it has a drafty barn door, poor windows, 12ft sealing and needs more attic insulation. As much as I hate to say it my hot blast would do a great job with it. The only thing I didn't like about it was the amount of wood it liked. I have been around older woodstoves before the epa ones and the heat that came off them seemed allot more. I could be wrong about this. I agree this stove would do much better if my shop was tight.

    Maybe you can spend a little time and tighten it up in one way, or several. With a few correctly placed boards to close the gaps and maybe some hooks and eyes to pull the door tight. A little more insulation.

    It is surprising how very difficult it can be to get a place comfortable to work in when it is very cold outside and their are drafts to let that cold rush in. Big difference if it’s 40 F outside and when it’s below 20.

    I have to autopay everything I can. I forget to pay stuff and the fees are just too high. You literally have to have a Callender and look at it all the time to know when stuff is due. Too many bills to remember.

    Most of the cheaper stoves from TSC and Northern tool are smaller ones and have to be pushed hard for heat. They seem not to make as much heat as an American made one as a similar stove?

    I heat my farm house when I am there with a vogelzang Highlander stove. It's like 1.3cuft. I got it to fit in a space or else it would be bigger. When it's 30 outside it all it can do to heat about 600sqft. It just burns through wood. Yes it is small, but if I extrapolate the amout of wood I load into it and the times I load it, I get way more heat out of my High Valley stove per cut of wood. At least that's what I think .
