Warm enough?

It's been a week, no repair in sight, apparently our heating equipment is quite old and parts are hard to procure. Good job wood abounds and our fireplaces work well. I pulled old heaters, best described as vintage, from storage - maybe this combination of heaters and fireplaces will see us out

I’m very warm here in my little house, bluebelle you are an absolute star with slightly bonkers tendencies, am in awe of you!

This thread does make one think about how we will manage when we are using only one source of domestic fuel - electricity.

Up til now, if the electricity went then most people could rely on their gas supply to provide some form of heat.

When we were without gas for a fortnight one winter, as well as electric heaters we had a wood stove set in a huge brick fireplace in the centre of the house. After a few days, the chimney stack heated up like a storgae radiator and heated most of the house.

The majority of houses are not suitable for solid fuel burners, so in the future, when the electricity goes, we will just have to sit thee and freeze.

We've rain and clouds in Suffolk, 7 degrees outside and 20 inside - cosy imo. Parts haven't yet been sourced, so wood and heaters proving to be answer to 'warm enough' and will see us through.
