snipped the shopping trip ...
Well , actually nestork my heating bill is now lower than ever before - unless you count my labor . The new place has a wood burning stove and I live in a clearing out in the woods . I have 2 chainsaws , a splitting wedge and a hammer , and I need the exercise . Not exactly free heat but about as close as you're likely to get . Most all the neighbors out here heat with wood too , and should I get tired of splitting firewood by hand I've been offered the use of no less than 3 powered splitters . But throwing away energy that I paid for still irks me , and at some point I will be integrating some form of reclamation into my hearing plan . Might be nothing more than a preheat for incoming - the water here is COLD in winter ! But there will be something to get at least part of that heat back . It will be less expensive for me to build a device , I think , because there's a well-equipped machine/welding shop sittin' right outside ...
