Move could not have gone worse, but we're in and the place looks like we've been here for a while. I'll wait until later to tell you the story, it's so bizarre it's actually funny. OK... I ain't laughing yet, that would hurt. Even my hair hurts, and I only have a few strands of that stuff left.
Yes, BB, you know your stuff. Not only did I have to buy the pellets, they were actually rolled into the mortgage, along with the propane and the oil in the tank. Now, how many guys do you know that got stuck financing three types of fuel for 30 years?

Zap, first impression was, "Where's the freakin' heat?", but that thing sips those pellets at these temps and heats the whole place beautifully. We'll see how it does come February. Without a doubt, though, a stove belongs up here and the pellet stove belongs down in the basement workshop... whenever that gets built.
Pen, I have truly seen the light. That Vig belongs in a big ol' hunting camp, where you can open it up and crank out great gobs of radiant heat. This convection heating ain't as bad as I thought it'd be, but I do already miss that blast of bone-warming heat.
Thanks so much to everyone who has followed me through this horrid ordeal and offer words of encouragement and sage advice. I really don't know how I could have gotten through this on my own. You guys are great. I love you all.
I'll wait to post pics until after we get the tree up and the kids and grandkids are all here. It looks real nice, at least we like it. But best thing of all is how it feels... like "Home Sweet Home". ;-)
