I love HEAT!

First off I want to wish my brother...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Lando's repeating his 25th birthday this year and even though we aren't seeing eye to eye these days I still love him and want him to have a great birthday! Love you Lil Bro hope you enjoyed your day!

So this is exciting news for me! It'll probably be weird to you guys that I'm blogging about this but that should just let ya'll know how important and excited I was about it!



In our tiny house there is no heat. When I was younger we had baseboard heaters then my parents stopped using them for some reason. We then had a kerosene heater which was nice. Even though I burned the crap out of my hand when I was 5! I was trying to walk backwards, tripped and placed my hand to catch myself right on the top of the heater! OUCH! So from the time I was 5 till about 2 years ago we always had a kerosene heater warming the house.


After my parents left and the house was ours we got rid of the kerosene heater because I hated the smell and hated that we had to go buy kerosene like once a week! We bought portable electric heaters but as you can imagine our electric bill went up during the winters.



So when I got pregnant we started talking about what we were gonna do about the heat. I wanted something that would heat the whole house (not like it's that big) but not cost and arm and a leg. So we decided on a Pellet Stove. Dante will research something till you want to pull your hair out! I'm not even joking he drives me crazy! He'll find the one he wants or he thinks he wants online then go look at it in the stores. And he'll go to multiple stores...talk to the people about it. The process takes months for us to get new appliances in this household. Research, research, research. Then he'll compare pricing. I don't mind that part but when I'm pretty much sold on something I'll just go buy it. Not him he'll wait and wait to see if it'll appear on Craigslist. Thank the lord we got lucky and just so happened the one he wanted was on Craigslist. We had to drive all the way up North, I believe it was Camano Island but the guy had purchased it for his home while he was remodeling but then decided to install the stoves that are inserted in the walls. He said he only lit it like 4 times so basically it was brand new.



So mind you we bought this thing in March it is now Oct! Dante finally put it in today! It is wonderful! I've had it on since he finished and my house is now nice and toasty! I LOVE IT! I even took a picture to share with all of you!

Here's a pic I took this morning of Dante and his boys!
