Afternoon PSAR [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well looks like they are going on strike @ 12:01 tonight [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I did get a call this afternoon from one of my managers saying that my notice was for 48 hrs so to report to work on Mon. morning [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img], but yet the other one said before I left "watch the news if they strike don't come in, if not DO come in" so I am a little confused, but I will go in Mon. @ 5am & see what is up!! Probably won't be nothing to do so we'll see.

Well I think the new insulated house/windows will do us good this winter, I went to PUD today to pay the bill & get on the budget pymt. plan, it is only $100 a month [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] that is the least it has been in at least 6 yrs. WAHOOO haha, so I think we are going to hold off on installing the pellet stove & see what the usage is like thru the winter, I REALLY DON'T want to cut holes in the side of my new house [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img], plus who knows how much pellets will be this winter!!

Took a drive up to Stanwood this afternoon & picked my niece up @ her Mother's work @ the new daycare she is at. She LOVES her Auntie [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] put her arms right out for me haha, took her to McD's then she went to Grama's, stupid daycare anyway the whole time she was w/ me she wasn't sick once, she's been there 3 days & is already sick [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] poor thing!! MIght have to take her a day or 2 while I'm off we will see.

Considering the cost of a quality pellet stove VS the cost of a good Heat Pump I would suggest you investigate the latter. Been my experience that the less known brands are a better buy and last just as long. I'm not a big fan of Lennox, Trane or the other high cost units. Too many proprietary parts at very high cost. Frazer-Johnson was one I installed a lot of with excellent results.

A heat pump will give you whole house AC during hot weather and drastically reduce your electrical costs during the heating season.

Only real advantage of a pellet stove is it will give you heat during a power outage with just a small generator.

Got back from the farm, had a good week with progress made on the remodel and fun with the grandkids. Life is good. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey there Rancher, say hi to everybody for me.

 

good evening PSAR!


Weeman did some wheeling and dealing with Kirk Swain this evening. He traded his little ALT 50 for these Yamaha Tri-Zinger 60's








The yellow one is tip top other than a cracked gas cap, the blue one runs, but need general TLC
