1. That's a beauty, Joan!

You're in for a toasty winter if that's your new stove.

3. All in another day's shopping ...

my stove will be black instead of red ...

Good Mornin' ahem

[ahem]

5. And a good morning to you, too.

:hug:

Well, I'm quite fond of the red one, but it will still look awesome in black. I just love the warmth of a wood stove--nothing else quite like it. Plus, it brings to mind hot buttered rum and afghan blankets for me. Sigh...

How long until the cold days come your way?

7. the 'heat' kicked on again last night

the trees are just starting to change colors ...

by early October we'll be starting a slow burn that will continue till Spring ...

[ahem]

12. That sounds so nice.

Sadly, here in FL we miss the cooler seasons. I could use some signs of the upcoming autumn. Fall is always my favourite.

Of course when it's blizzard time I won't be envying you!

4. thanks ~ MissHoneychurch

My first winters in upstate New York, all I had to heat with was a very old wood stove ... this one will be a pleasure!

Good morning

[MissHoneychurch]

9. I am sure it will be

such a nice oven. Alone to look at it is warming the heart

10. wood stoves have improved greatly

The 'Defiant' is the "cleanest burning stove ever tested by the EPA" ... ... that IS what the spec sheet says ...

8. some guys have all the luck ...

but it will make getting out of the jacuzzi easier ... ... so there!

[GOPisEvil]

11. Jacuzzi?!

*pout*

[In_The_Wind]

13. I'm sorry ... didn't you know ...

the jacuzzi is indoors ... surrounded by 8 foot sliding glass doors ... in a 40 foot long room.

which BTW is one of the reasons that we burn over 2,300 gallons of oil every year ... too much glass!

[GOPisEvil]

14. I kinda knew...but didn't know the details.

2300 gallons of oil every year? :wow:

Down here, that much glass would trap the winter sun and keep the room really warm. In the summer, you'd go broke cooling that room down. It's always something...

[In_The_Wind]

15. the sun IS strong here in the summer

3 years ago I replaced the heating and air conditioning system in this house ...

We had days this summer when the heat index reached 105 degrees!


solar panels are next on my shopping list ...

[In_The_Wind]
