Have learned over last 1.5 years on R2R to be careful with the advice received here!!!

Occasionally - that advice might get misinterpreted and that misinterpretation can get you into big trouble!

I had just electric baseboard heating when I moved into my house in 2009. In northern NJ it gets polar bear cold and the baseboards couldn’t keep up on full blast and I was paying and arm and a leg to keep them going. Finally in 2015 i installed a pellet stove! Game changer! I was able to install it myself so saved on that and my house is so warm i wear shorts all year round inside!

Yes on the pellet stove. Same here 70 degrees.

move to Florida and your electric bill wont be big (cheaper in winter actually) and if you got tank as big as mine (500g) you don't need heaters also. And my wife is happy and not cold all the time! win win win

Thank goodness wives don’t use R2R
I’m not sure about that! Think there are more than a few wives on R2R.

Also, At some point my wife is going to want to know why I spend so much time on R2R. Probably have to start another thread like this one and ask my Reefer friends for help answering! I’m going to have lots of explaining to do…

Hmmm...well, we may be a minority but women do use this forum. I think there is misogyny here sometimes.

I have yet to see women carry on about their husbands they way the men do about their wives.

Ok, that one crossed the line... it's offensive.
That was not the intention. I thought it was funny. I’m a woman myself, with menopause, and I have hot flashes and I’m so hot most of the time !

@PeterC99 I am sorry if I offended you.

Thank you for the clarification and am not offended. My wife went through this a few years ago and I know it’s a difficult time. Wishing you well!

It's not difficult for everyone. I had no problems at all!
