Heating Improvements?

It is November 1st and, right on time, we've got a cold, blustery winter storm blowing through: Lows in the teens have been forecast. Fortunately, over the summer, Rural Ways added 10 bales of insulation to The Homestead. In addition, we renovated the screen porch and added a ventless gas heater to warm it. Two more heaters are either installed or planned for the bathroom and bedroom, respectively. With all that, you'd think we'd be living like those people from Vegas who have adopted shorts, flip-flops, and tank-tops as a uniform. Well, you'd be wrong. For one thing, heat isn't free, and for another, it doesn't work when it is turned off, which, under the frugal regime at Rural Ways, it often is. So, pull on the long-johns, the sweat-shirts, the Sorrels, and the ski hat, and get ready for winter weather . . . indoors.
