We are having a home energy audit tomorrow complete with blower door test...so the Fireview and XXV have to be down for 24 hours prior. Of course today is the first day in ages that it's actually cold, and dropping to around 20 tonight...great time to fire the oil burner back up. Pfft.
Audit should be interesting. Main house was built in 1758 with an addition added in 1970's. PO's were not big believers in insulation, which we've remedied with attic insulation and some crawlspace insulation...and blocking gaps as possible. But I'm sure I've got the equivalent of a 3 foot by 3 foot hole in my house still...hope the inspector brings lots of caulk and foam...
Anyway, I miss my fire! I miss waking it up in the morning and tending it in the day. I miss the warmth and the glow. What am I going to do in Spring/Summer?
