I dread
getting the 'lectric bill this cycle , it's going to be high from
the extreme for this area cold . We're currently using a space
heater as it's
cheaper and much less hassle than LPG . Next month I expect it to
be somewhat lower , as by then I should have the new room hooked
up to the camper , and it'll be heated with wood .

Always amazed me when we changed from 'hot air' heating to 'glowing
electric' heater the difference in comfort. We went from bones
chilling while sitting still and roasting when moving around, to
feeling 'good inside' and feeling cool air when we moved around.
Absolutely the right way to go.

I'm now convinced that with a good red-hot fire burning in a
relatively cool room is the way to go. Fire burning in an
appropriate location, of course.

My main concern about the wood stove is that it's way too big for
the current space - and will overheat us . And a room with a red hot
stove won't be cool for long ... I have one of my forge burners set
up in a turkey fryer-type stand , and have been using it to warrm
the room while I do some of the inside stuff . With it turned as low
as I can and still sustain a flame it'll heat me out in under an
hour .

Open a window. No window? Cut a hole and frame it so you close it up
when not in use, like an access panel. It'll all get hidden when you
finish the wall, right?

First window went in today , second one tomorrow . As soon as I can get my
truck out ice under snow , ain't melted yet I'll be picking up a door unit
and more "stuff". Still shoppin' around for 'lectrickle stuff .
