[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 340732, member: 6370"] In Maine we had electric heat, spent $10,000.00 converting to oil. Thermostats were still electric so, no electric=still no heat. We lost power a lot living in the woods. We had one wood stove, we kept that going all night during black outs and slept in that room. I was always a wreck because of the kerosene lamps and the candles, so I would get very little sleep. Water was unavailable because the well had an electric pump. We could not flush the toilets, could not give water to the 4 dogs, could not cook. In our second Maine house we had oil heat, a propane gas oven and 5 working fireplaces and during the great ice storm of '98 we kept 3 hearths going. At least there we could cook, had water and use the toilets. That's why Yankees are tough and I decided I had no desire to be tough for all of my remaining life. So how come I'm stuck at home in a blizzard in MD??? [/QUOTE]
