Arrow not me

i cut lots of wood for heat

and i try and use my oil for just heating my hot water

i wear sweaters or sweatshirts if needed

plus, as i told a friend of mine........

i dumped in a full bottle of additive
into the top of my fuel tank thats making
a world of difference and the gauge has barely moved
maybe a 16th of and inch ...compared to an inch without it.

but i have to highly recommend the small electric oil filled
thermostat controlled heaters (similar to a radiator)
that cost ....like $25 bucks. they are the balls..trust me.

plus you can put them on a timer so when you get up
that cold area has been warmed several hours earlier
and when they shut off.....
the oil inside stays warm for a long time

but the best feature is that there's no exposed heating element
and very little risk of a fire hazard compared to most other
types of small heaters.... and i haven't even started using it yet.

the house i bought is just full of the old steam radiators
which heat up quickly and can dry wet clothing when it rains
long after you shut off the thermostat.

but the best feature is that the house is positioned correctly
to take advantage of the sunshine in the morning and in
the afternoon as well. I looked for this feature for 1 and 1/2
years before i finally found it....
then i jumped on it faster than white on rice
