What if it Snows?

Ahhh now electric.

 

My cow on the treadmill powers my heater.

 

Ive got three of them. Oil filled coil type. Little ones yea high about the knee.

One has been in service since 2004, the other two date to 2006 and 1999. Marked on the outside front. All of them have been in the corner waiting. Its been cold but the computer has been a very good space heater thus far. I live in a over built beyond code toasty cube so... if iM running all three its COLD.

One of them is sparking excessively when switching at temp set point. Might have to get a new one.

 

Can even get them for a good price..... 2 of these on the lowest wattage keeps the place toasty.

If you put the cow poop in a big pile and run a fresh air pipe through it all you would need is and intake fan no heater.

I'm figuring on heating (keep from freezing) the green house and well house off the compost pile next year.

 

any hookah smokers?

Wow.....I'm not sure I know what to do with this information lol

 

Emphasis on lowest wattage. I have three settings, nice, hot and OMG. 500, 1000 and 1500 watt at 12 amps each.

I usually set each of them on 500 and the dial temp 1 to 10 is around maybe a 1.8 or so. It might cycle three times a hour for 6 minutes.

I miss my childhood home. We used steam First coal then oil, boil the water to live steam and then drive the big coils under each window. No air conditioning needed in that Baltimore row home. Big fan pull cold air out of alley in the shade and the hot goes up the stairs and out either the bathroom chimney or both front and back windows with fans.

Electricity was cheap in those days. If it got really hot there was a basement fitted for living for a while down below. Its a constant 62 down there no matter what.

 

The neighbor uses the cow poop for his garden.
He sends the vegetables to his relatives in the PNW.

 

I too live in an exceptionally insulated house, I got it from a nickel mine up in Pine Point that had shut down in the Northwest Territories back in 1988. the mine built a whole town for their workers, when they discovered the nickel deposits were depleting, they shut down. I bought the house for $3000 and had a company haul it the 700 kilometers south. heating is via natural gas furnace, it stays toasty warm even at -40. lots of groans and crack sounds when the temps drop that low, kinda trippy.

 

And here I'm am thinking I'm going to die because it's 60°.
