Comments on: Heating Oil, Open Windows And the Spirit of My Mother http://chapmandeering.com/2010/02/heating-oil-open-windows-and-the-spirit-of-my-mother/ Thoughts On The Journey Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:43:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Daffyhill http://chapmandeering.com/2010/02/heating-oil-open-windows-and-the-spirit-of-my-mother/comment-page-1/#comment-85 Daffyhill Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:35:23 +0000 http://chapmandeering.com/?p=235#comment-85 It sounds like cousin K may have a very reasonable solution. I also have an oil heater in the garage you can have. We used to heat the basement with it. It's good for small spaces. I certainly hope Mom has better things to do with her time that rattle windows. The afterlife doesn't seem very enticing if you wander around looking for problems to solve. I like to picture Mom somewhere warm, with a spicey drink, playing cards with her mother and sister Rita. No dishes to do, no dusting or ironing, and no open windows to worry about. It sounds like cousin K may have a very reasonable solution. I also have an oil heater in the garage you can have.

I was thinking about your heating challenges and have a suggestion: years ago when my heat pump failed, a friend loaned me an oscillating ceramic heater (it's very small, maybe 12x12")... ANYWAY, with two of them, I was able to heat my entire downstairs (which was bigger than the first floor of your house) quite effectively AND at a very minimal (VERY) to my electric bill... they are sold at Lowe's/Home Depot for maybe $50 and I think would solve the problem of your freezing your cute buns off! xxoo PS: snowing like a BLIZZARD here!!! YOU CAN HAVE IT! Dearest Chapman: No doubt you dear Mother was hovering!
