Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

Propane......wood...LNG...
Ya'll all missing out and just wastin your $$ and your labor.
I heat this entire 2 story house..

with a single wonderful bit of technology, (from the Coast of China)
Heat Surge HT L.E.D., with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology. Hybrid-Thermic heat is an engineering genius so advanced, it actually uses a micro-furnace (did I mention from the Coast of China? ) and a thermal heat exchanger to perform its miracles. The thermal heat exchanger acts like the rays of the sun to heat me, the grand kids, & everything else. The micro-furnace then heats all the surrounding air.... In fact, it actually produces 1500 blasting watts of Ortho-Thermic™, bone-soothing heat.

Yep, I got me one of them there (as seen on TV) Amish Heaters.. (they know all about electricity and electronics..they didn't invent it, but they perfected it and shared it with all the rest of the world)

well not really but I think the ads are hilarious

Yep, gonna heat STA's 2,400 sq ft house with a 1,500 watt heater. Well I suppose it would be possible if the house was super insulated and they never opened a door.

I'll have to look into the insulated stove pipe and find out if the hearth is sturdy enough to support a wood stove.

Mr. @greybeard, that was a really funny post. Thanks.

My Beautiful Gal and I decided to build a second trail yesterday and today. We finished around 3PM. So, for your viewing please, here is a tour of the STA Farm Dismal Swamp and (future) picnic area trail. This trail joins up with the trail out to the deer stand at the end of the video.

I wanna see a picture of the "fireplace" and hearth if you please.

"We'll almost certainly have to put a bridge here"

Yeah, looks like a good place for one unless you are only walking or riding horses.

Safety first, STA remembered to put his seat belt on. lol
Looks like a nice trail.

Mr. @Bruce, sir, here is a picture of the fireplace and hearth. Sorry it's a bit blurry:


Also, here is a picture of the sunrise this morning. I never get tired of seeing this:

Beautiful sunrise pic!

So there is no actual chimney, just all the stone work? Is that on an outside wall? If so, eave or gable side?


Better batten down the hatches, "red sky in morning sailor take warning"! But beautiful!!

Mr. @Bruce,

I don't know if there is a chimney pipe or not. The chimney is on both the inside and the outside. When we first looked at this house, I thought that the chimney would support a wood burning stove insert, but was later told that it would not. The chimney has a cap on the top. I wish I could go to the top and look in it, but the roof is so steep that I am not sure how I would get up there. Here is a picture of the upper part of the chimney from inside the house to give you an idea of just how steep the roof is:


I am considering contacting a wood stove store to see what a good stove would cost and have them check it to see if the fireplace can accommodate a stove. I think that would make sense rather than taking someone else's word for it.

Miss @Sumi,

Back on Jan 6 I sent the below message to you and the other administrators and received no response. I figured that each of you hoped that one of the others would answer. So I am sending this to you specifically. How can I get notices whenever the folks I am following posts something, instead of having to do it manually?

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

@DuckLady, @elevan, @Nifty, @Sumi, and @Support,

I need some help in understanding why I am not getting notified when certain members whom I follow post on BYH. For example, among the folks I follow are Miss @Baymule, Miss @farmerjan, Mr. @greybeard, and Miss @Mini Horses. I follow those folks because they almost always have something quite educational to say, and in Miss @Baymule's case, quite funny! Yet while looking for something else, I stumbled upon a thread, "Farmerjan's journal - Weather", where all four of those folks, as well as others, had posted. As I read through it, I was quite pleased with what I learned, but quite disappointed that I had not been notified.

So my question is this: is it something I am doing wrong -- maybe my Senile Texas Aggie I/Q getting in the way -- or does the "Follow member" feature not include alerts?
