I was just hanging out there staring at our dead fire in the fireplace.
I put on the last couple of wood logs that I had only a few moments previously and they were about to be finished.
After this was absolutely scary to me, not because I was going to freeze to death from no source of heating, but because I really liked resting in front of the fireplace reading our books. However, with no actual fire in the fireplace, it would not be the same; Since I was not able to get anymore firewood for the fireplace, I made a choice to walk to the temperature control and adjust the amount. I put the temperature control on heating mode and set it to a comfortable setting. Within a few moments, the heated air started flowing through the air duct. The whole lake house would be nice and warm like, and not just the portion around the fireplace. I might want to consider getting something like HVAC zone control in the near future, so that I can heat and cool the areas that easily should have it. I have this big outdated lake house all to myself, and there is absolutely no reason in wasting so much energy by heating and cooling the whole lake house via our 1 temperature control unit. That’s another reason why the fireplace is so great to me, I can just heat that 1 area and not worry about every other portion in the household.
