Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
Yup, like I said earlier, need to get a professional on site to sort it all out. Hopefully we have sorted out some basics and narrowed things down a little through all this for ya though...
I currently have like a root cellar and my mom does canning. So my goal is to heat the basement just so it doe not freeze. If it ends up being 45 to 50 degrees in there that is fine by me.
or he could find someone who actually knows what their doing????
someone with NO experience with heating with wood, or how to run duct work PROPERLY, or would even consider running a horizontal chimney for 10-12ft (above an oil tank no less)
should REALLY find someone who knows what their doing, espically considering its not even in you're own home!
you're asking questions here that noone can answer unless they could actually see the house/situation! and the answers to the questions that can be answered here you just ignore/dont like.
theres ALOT of guys here that know what their talking about, but without actually being there to look at it, its pretty pointless to even ask these sorts of questions
BEST/SAFEST advise is to ATLEAST get someone there that knows what their doing, and have them look at it, you could still do the work yourself, but then you would know what needs to be done!
and not just guess at it and hope it works or doesnt burn SOMESONE ELSE'S house down!
Again the furnace is going to be installed away far away from the oil tanks I am putting in a new Chimney. The last think is I wonder if my basement will even need to be heated. I figure that my house is at 55 to 60 during winter and that little bit of heat in the basement might not be alot. So, I think I am going to install the furnace and if the basement gets to cold then I will install the line down to the basement.
Let me know if anyone on here gets okay without heating their basement. My basement is 6 feet underground and sandstone walls.
If you think its expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.
