HEAT

Many people wonder how we heat this place. Presently we are relying on our wood stove to keep us warm and we haven't been disappointed.



Our wood stove sits at the east end of the great room, next to the sliding door off our deck. This makes it easy to bring wood in as needed and keeps most of the mess outside.






With just a few small logs we can get a roaring fire going in minutes and the heat is quickly felt throughout the house. Since our walls are concrete they absorb most of the heat and give it back during the night. This keeps our house at a comfortable constant temperature ..............



even when it's doing this outside. I read recently where the Ukraine is having a severe cold snap with many folks unable to keep their homes or apartments heated. With today's technologies no one should be freezing when they go to bed.

Staying warm on a few logs a day.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks for the call yesterday Annie; good to hear from you.

Safe travels.
