I like this thread it reminds me how much the gas man hates me.
Few days ago the gas guy was filling my next door neighbor’s pro-pain tank,
I walked up and said hay, as he’s was standing their filling a 500 gal tank,
He looks at me with disdain and asks, do you need some gas? I said no I still have 40% from last years 80% fill.
The guy said I’m busy, let me do my work.
My saw 700.00 about 5 year’s old, wood stove used 150.00 with stainless steel pipe.
Stove for the shop, a used all-nighter 100.00, another 300.00 or so into extra pipe,
Money saved 1000.00s I was paying 500 600 per fill 3 time a year on the short side 1500.00 per year.
Now with burning wood for heat I use about 250 gals of pro-pain I save about 1000.00 per year after all the cost.
I don’t count my time cutting wood in dollar amount if I’m cutting for myself, I consider it time away from the house in the sticks trampling grass, being the tree hugger I am.
Sometimes I feel bad for the gas-man and turn on the gas heater.
