Well, I suppose the trolls are having fun lately but I wouldn't know...
We have a hole in the roof with a limb sticking through. There is at least 50 trees down and demolished within 150 yards of my house alone, the whole state is similar. We drove 40 miles yesterday in search of gasoline, no info available as the cell and cable are all down, very sketchy internet. Main state highways haven't even begun to be addressed yet, it's like a maze just to go down route five with the lines down and trees still in the road. Unfortunately, the generator I have won't do 220 to run the water so we can't run the furnace either like I used to be able to do in the other place. I have never rewired a deep well pump and don't even know if ours can be done... getting pretty cold here, the governor thinks this will be at least a week or more. Shipping the animals off today to a friend upstate who has power, trying to find a cup of coffee is crazy. No banks, cash only everywhere. Later guys... |

Sorry to hear of your troubles, and hope they get resolved soon. Maybe you can rent a portable genny and run lights, microwave, and a space heater or two. |

Just dropped way more cash than I had planned on for a complete chimney teardown and rebuild including firebox and throat. Improvements are... a deeper firebox. an improved throat that should help the smoke rise easier and a 1.5 foot increase in total chimney height. It has to be 30 feet now. The wife is all excited about using it... me... I just think of the boat that cash could have been put against. |

Maybe Don would be better served by a gas fireplace or converting to gas or oil heating which could be run from a small generator. Even a coal fired steam boiler could do the trick. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error |

We are cooking and running ceramic heaters but no shower etc.... |
