Well, I'm looking at it as a good way to make sure we get winterized  
before it gets *really* bad. : )

And yes, Bob, this house isn't big, but it's funny, it's U shaped.  
Right now we are only using the bottom part of the U, so it's not too  
terrible to maintain. Basically, the old fashioned two up, two down.  
We got about 6 cords of wood in, for the wood stove we are using in  
the front room. There is also one in a back room we are not using  
(yet) and I have a Jotul gas stove we could put in too, if Roy wants  
to. There is also a oil burning furnace in the basement but we have it  
set to about 50, so I've only heard it come on once, this afternoon,  
in fact. What we need to do is winterize and figure out a better air  
flow system with some fans or something, right now the heat is going  
right up the stairwell to the Taz's room and the kitchen and laundry,  
where I tend to spend my time, is a little bit fridgidy.
