Sinngetreu, that is not good to hear and I hope all gets well really fast.
On the back-up heat, this is something my wife and I have thought about a little. We have had no backup for well over 30 years but with both of us well into retirement, we wonder if there might come a time it could become difficult for us. Quite naturally, this is one good reason to be way ahead on the wood supply. So, perhaps in the future we may put something in, like a pellet stove. We really do not want to get into the oil or propane battle but if you already have it, then it is another story; you use what you have.
Over 30 yrs, and at no time had the flu together, with no back up for the pipes to freeze and then you freeze to death. Must be a tough sob. I have no back up either, been thinking I may have to put one in.
