That's cool! (or more appropriately - warm!)

We're all electric and I've never loved that idea, but it is what it is. I received a notice today from my power supplier that I've used 156% more electricity this month than last. I know I'm not going to be pleased when the bill comes.

During all this cold I was thinking about your heating set up. How often do you have to feed the furnace? Does the fire last overnight?

I get up once during the night at about 4:00 am to stoke the fire.

At least it's only once!
