Welcome. Did Michael cause much damage? Do you heat much down there?
 
Welcome. Did Michael cause much damage? Do you heat much down there?

Michael devasted East Panama City and Port St Joe. I was over there three days after the storm and it was very bad. Could have counted on one hand the trees that weren’t snapped at ten feet high.

Love heating with a fireplace but most homes here have cheap contractor grade inserts only for show. I just bought a house with an outdoor fireplace/grill/smoker and thinking about punching through the wall and installing a wood burning stove. The electric heat in this old house kicks on ever four minutes at 64*!
