    Where the fuck do you life where you’re heating your house with kerosene?

    Or How’d you get a computer with modern internet in 1904?

      It’s pretty common in the North. Older houses built in the 40s thru 60s that have never been fully renovated. Furnaces are surprisingly resilient

        The furnaces are awesome, I’m keeping mine for a back up unit. In the more brutal storms and dark winters the solar and the heat pumps start struggling. I imagine i’ll still get some use out of the Old Beast.
