OK...I'm FREEZING!
good morning all,
I'm writing to you from an igloo in MN. where the high temp is going to 9 degrees today! With the wind chill it will only feel as if it's -30.
I have put on my thick socks, heavy shoes, long johns, long sleeve undershirt, and turtle neck sweater, so that I can wonder outside to my car and go to work. (with my gloves, hat, scarf, and wool coat on.)
just wanted you to think of little 'ol freezing me up here in freezing Minnesota...and if you can send some warm weather my way
Katie
Sorry it took so long to write back....I was packing my bags....i'm moving in with you...but only until spring
The heating bill isn't bad because we heat the house with corn, but when it gets really cold out the furnace will turn on, it was on alot last night and today, but usually it's just the corn burner doing all the work. Since my DH is a farmer and we raise corn it really is no cost.
Katie
I'll be over as soon as I get off work!! Should I pack my long johns...I think they're my new favorite peice of clothing....
yea, it looks alot like a woodburning stove, but the top opens and there's a bin to hold the corn and a little auger that slowly puts the corn on to the fire. It's really rather neat. and it has no smell like a wood burning stove, it also makes a lot less ash...so less clean up. we've been using it for about 5 years and have saved a ton of money in heating!
Katie
Cool- I'm for saving $!! This house has a spot in the playroom for a wood-burning stove, but it seems to have been done away with for quite a while... (we bought this house in 8/2004)...
See ya later when you get outta work!
