8 degrees with a howling West wind this morning. A good reminder that spring is still a few months away.

18 F and snowing. Nice and warm in the house heated by coal!!!

Rob ,

Keep the reality to yourself , I just got myself convinced the woodchuck was right

saw a sign today that said 29 days till spring. It is official....I am now tired of winter.

C'mon Rev Larry, you don't want to insult your Econo 1

You and me both, Reverend. This last month of winter always draaaaaaaaaags on .........

My wife was talking again last night about the "new to us" house projects that she wants done. They all involve painting or using tools on jobs that require ventilation. Kinda hard to open windows and work when it's in the teens outside. She has chronic asthma so windows have to open.

I have winter projects and the rest of the year projects that I need to jump on.

The LL Econo1 is a great little stove. I picked it up a couple of years ago for $50 scrap value. Rewired it, replaced all the gaskets, replaced the cracked glass, cleaned it good and fired it up. If I turn it up, it can take our 1895 vintage 985 sq ft bungalow type home to 80+ in two hours.

Just a thought.... I have had asthma forever and just recently my DR. put me on a inhaled steroid and wow what a difference ! Too, I moved my burning device to the garage And between the two I have had zero attacks and zero colds this winter. That has never before happened in my 55 yrs. It might be worth lookin into

Best ..

I hear ya with the projects Rev. Larry. I hope winter holds out longer, so I can finish mine. Trouble is, with the stove running, my woodshop in the cellar is about 45-50*, and not too efficient for shellac curing. And you say you've got a bungalo? I love those styles, and have tried to incorporate some of those designs into my old home renovation.(Unfortunately it's not a bungalo.)

Yep, wind is howling, EFM is running, 22 here right now.
Might actually have my new kitchen zone connected today...I hope.

It is 16 here right now with wind chills taking us to -5. So maybe winter is beating the calendar here this year!! Good luck with the kitchen hook up!!

Thanks.

that was a fast hook up!
