I don't know what type of fireplace it is but the people we bought the house from said it was an expensive one and worked better than the house they built before. It does have a blower but when the electricity went off for little over an hour I couldn't tell the difference in the temp.

That's right and nothing but the fireplace going. It's about to burn me up because we are use to keeping it around 63 degrees.
We have freezing rain going on here. The roads are clear but not the trees and things. Our electricity went out for an hour.

I just finished processing a bunch of cornish x and we used a 10x10x8' chainlink dog pen and we moved it around. We had a tarp on the top and plastic wrapped around it to keep them dry. I bet if we put the plastic over the top...

I would love to be debt free but I have to say with money being so tight and having to learn to do thing more efficiently has taught us a whole bunch. I hope when I can get my disability started things will be better but I think it will be different. We won't waste as much on junk and I love...
