I have one of those Amish style small space heaters down here in FL. And yes, it's actually been cold down here and we've needed the heat. So since it was just wifey and I, I thought I'd just heat the room we were in mostly with that little heater. Well the electric bill came and it seems that it's more expensive to heat only the room you're in, than the whole house with the 240 volt heat pump system we have. Those stupid little heaters are not very efficient.
Boy, Heater 2 brought a different crowd! I guess the word got out on da street how much we had been having!

I love gas heat. Been as low as 1 degrees here. Gas bill was less than $40.
It's been warm the past few days so the heaters have been off. The electric blanket on 1 at night felt good. We were out past dark thirty yesterday and it was 52 in here when we got home. Turned on the heaters,got it to 62 by bedtime. Turned on the blanket to 1 then to bed. I woke cold and looked at the clock, it's off. Got to a battery clock, it's 7:45. It's 55 in here. The heater in hall is on, all other heat is off. Debbie used the microwave during the night and tripped the breaker.
I took my space heater back. Bought me a 5 gallon bucket full of ice and a blower motor. Getting ready for summer now. [emoji23][emoji23]

A 14seer heat pump is 4 times cheaper to
operate than electric heaters. I've been heating this 3400 sq ft lake house and running compressors miter saw and table saw everyday for less than 150 a month
let Canebreaker know if you need more heaters , he can hook you up with his auction buddies !!!Quote:

I thought about you moving from up North to get away from the snow and this year it has snowed in Florida. I think the snow is trying to find you Slab.:rolleyes: If it gets much colder down South we may have to move you back up North.:dono:RoflQuote:

Now, this has caused an imbalance in the weather patterns causing unnatural weather acts all across the south. This can not go on any longer. The Posse needs to rise, gather the illegals and drive these little doggies back north!!
Should similar to herding cats......

Repaired storage compartment on kayak. Fed the fire, sent Clayton a text, got another Stone. Carried feed and water to the coop. Removed some ties from tomato stakes, half 5 gallon bucket. Fed the fire, put chicks up, reset traps, think I need rat traps. Another Stone and sit on a bucket by the fire for a few.Quote:

Yep, Slab's on a slab. That's all they got down here in Florida. If you dig a basement here, all you get is a swimming pool I guess! dohQuote:

There is a portable propane heater, uses a 5 gallon bottle, and it is a much better solution than the electric space heaters. Has 3 burners so you can choose low, medium and high. Just running on pilot helps a lot.
I picked this Mister Heater model out. 18000 btu...runs off a 20# bottle . Lasts a long time
That's it and it does an excellent job, way cheaper to run and if have the bottle filled instead of swapping you come out way better too.
Well took reading the Heater 2 thread to realize, actual heater talk is pretty boring :eek: I just flip a little hand on top of the thermostat on top of some numbers and instant heat or cold, it works most the times. :biggrin
:Rofl:Rofl
"most times"...Out here where I live you never know if that little switch will be working.
Or the power/gas that little switch controls could have a problem. Or the box that little switch sits on top of could go bad.Quote:

At an auction a heater like that got a $45 bid, the seller wants $100, said it retails for $180. He sold all he had. One person of our group scans the upc and finds it for $75 to $180.Quote:

Well .... yeah . But this is more than that . This is about all the deals/bargin Canebreaker knows about , stuff he builds, stuff in his yard he plans to build, Southaven, TN , and lots of other stuff . I admit Heater 2 is starting slow, but I believe great things are coming.Quote:
