    That would not be good for me. I would panic when away and I saw my temps dip below the threshold I wanted!!

    We have no threshold, it just is what it is. Usually with the deep coals in the Vermont Castings, she'll throw heat for 12 hours. We come home and fire that baby right up.

    Oh I can get heat for 24 hours and start from coals as much as 36 hours plus from a reload. But remember without much insulation heat and useable heat are two different things. I can have a fat thick layer of coals but still be loosening hear in the House

    We all have lists, my problem is the list gets longer not shorter, I have 9" in the walls, took a lot of work and a big mess back in the 80's. Had to clean everything up before going to bed each night.

    Best I can hope for is 3.5" I have r19 in the ceilings. The part in attic with floor will stay that way as I am not putting false rafters up there to fill with insulation just to refloor up there. The parts without floor will get more.

    I have already rolled r30 unfaced over it in my bedroom. I had more for the ceiling in the upstairs over stove room. Plans in life changed and the rolls have been in attic three years. The last two I been meaning to roll them out over my sons room and spare bedroom. Just havent got around to it.

    I have gutters in the garage I bought at Home Depot 20 years ago that I still haven't put up. It's too hot, it's too cold, Hey I'm on vacation, I'm going to camp. That's how that works.:picard:

    Hey Papa, I've got a question and maybe you can answer it. What is the significance of 113 points on all the old school members. That seems to to be the highest one can go. Thanks.

    No significance. Everybody maxes out their points rather quickly. It is a fun way to encourage new members to post however.
