I'll be playing welfare-recipient today, and sit on my ass in front of the computer for 12 hours straight. 
I already feel sick just sitting here an hour!

I have left the faucets dribble for 3 days now, and so far, no frozen pipes under the house. Which aren't insulated either.
Look at our forecast for next Tuesday !
Yep, none. Just 5/4" rough-sawn sheething boards, covered by 1/2" thick pine siding on outside, with plaster walls on inside. Very comfortable on the inside, as long as temp stays above freezing, like it is supposed to in a normal winter.I'm On Fire wrote:Damn! No insulation what so ever?
I'm still plugging holes and insulating and working on this dump too. Wish I could afford to build an entirely new house though.009to090 wrote:Yep, none.

Instead of a total makeover/remodel like you did, we are going to start from scratch and build a modern house at the back of our property. 10 year plan. The lumber in this house will be de-constructed and used for a large garage/shop once we move into new house.

Might take out the street legal dirt bike, depending on how much salt this rain washes away. 
When it gets below 40° here, the cold creeps right in & heat needs to be on. Below 10° the stove struggles to maintain 65°. Below 10°, 65° is a distant fantasy.How do you start your vehicle in that weather? How do you do anything outside at that temperature? I think Pennsylvania as cold last week. That temp blows my mind.sterling40man wrote:Just a little chilly at 0730 this morning.
I really think I need to buy whatever exactly your setup is. That's a really nice feeling to have it that toasty.Rob R. wrote:-13 here, windchill is around -20.
72 in the main house, basement is 80 thanks to the boiler and piping. The EFM had all it wants right now...it has been stoking for the last hour to "hold the line" and produce hot water.
When it's that cold you really need to have a hot plug on your vehicle. You also need a battery with a lot of cold cranking amps.Joeski wrote:How do you start your vehicle in that weather??
You don't..........but everything including schools were open. We just deal with it is all.Joeski wrote:How do you do anything outside at that temperature?
You want an old house that needs 12.5 lbs of coal per hour to hold 72?Joeski wrote:I really think I need to buy whatever exactly your setup is. That's a really nice feeling to have it that toasty.Rob R. wrote:-13 here, windchill is around -20.
