I heat with wood and we’ve been feeding the beast like no other. Thankful for my wood shed as it keeps everything dry.
Hot house by day/into the evening but when we wake it’s chilly in the house and it’s time to stir the coals and start again.
I thought we would have a surplus of wood this year with how December went. With the way things are going we are gonna burn it all.
Not sure where you're at but here in SUX the wind is blowing almost 20 and gusting higher, so it may pick up. Wind chill warning until noon tomorrow, but wouldn't take much with how cold it is. Good luck. [Reply]
Slightly worried about my wifes car. It is at the airport-since thursday.
its tires were inflated well and the battery is not very old. Should be fine.
But if there is an issue, I should be able to get out there after school and help her.

Before I lived here I was in Chicago, digging out spots in the street and then marking them as my own with random bits of crap. That really sucked, but people mostly respected it. [Reply]

That sounds like COLD HELL
And counting on the goodwill of your fellow Chicagoans? Can't believe it mostly went well for ya [Reply]
Speaking of unheated garages, mine is attached but on the north side. It sucks because I would store liquids and they would freeze thus make them unuseable. I would have to move them inside over the winter.
We got a new garage door due to hail and got an insulated one. That made a big difference. I don't know if you could do a DYI slapping up foam boards (glue) in the door panels??
This last fall, I added more insulation in the crawl space above the garage (r13) to overlay the existing insulation.
It just got below freezing this last weekend. I am in NE KS.
Thinking these might be a simple band aide. [Reply]
