Well, here we are sitting looking out the back window at the river. Outside temps are around 25 mid day. Yea, It's cold. Temps have been hovering between25 and 27 daytime and 18-20 over night Some east wind out of the gorge really helps..... Yea, right! So got the big tank filled this morning, 7 gallons for 7 days. We are using the furnace to keep us around 67-69 inside. I really don't think this is too bad for a 9 year old 36 foot fiver.. We are supplementing the furnace with 1500 watt oil heater, so electricity is kind of expensive.

That supplemental heat really does help

But as temps continue to drop that furnace really turns into a gas hog.

We were in 0*F with night temps at -14*F and even with supplemental heat had to fill 30# (7 gallons) every other day. Stayed roasty-toasty except for the trips to propane place.

Snuggle up :B
Is it time for your medication or mine?
