Questions about space heaters? Questions on brands/styles/options? Who knows?
Well, probably anyone that reads This Old House…
I guess I need to start checking out some of my links more often!

Burn, baby, burn…
So for the last two years, even though we’ve put in more energy efficient doors, put on a new roof, added installation in the crawl space and installed a high efficiency furnace, our heating bills for the winter keep going up.
And yes, I realize this is a problem for…oh, well… everyone?
I guess I had been hoping that our bills would at least stay level…but no luck.
So now, as winter is crashing down on us like a drunk missing the curb after bar-time, I’m looking for other solutions- keeping the thermostat low when we aren’t home, trying to bundle up more, layers and layers and layers, so on and so forth. I also recently received a magazine featuring THIS from Plow and Hearth…
Do I know that the fake flames are cheesy? Yes…yes I do…
But part of me thinks that we could turn down the heat, fire this baby up, and stay relatively warm this winter with one of those puppies. Am I delusional? Does anyone have any experience with electric stoves/fireplaces? Do they work? Or would I actually have to sit on top of it to get any of the warmth?
All answers I need to know before I start wandering through my local home improvement store shivering as I look for this – or a less expensive equivalent.

Projects of the Weekend
Or maybe just one mini-project…
While actual renovations are at a standstill, it’s not like we haven’t done ANYTHING to the house…
I mean, M cleaned the gutters this weekend! That counts right? Right?
Ok, we really haven’t done anything to the house. But we will soon…
Definitely…
Maybe.

Love Thursday
In London- two tourists…a bit blurry, but I like how they stand out against the stone…

Dawn of a New Day
Sorry for being M.I.A lately- Will be back soon, if I can unglue myself from the television!
