EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

We just had this conversation with someone else...who I shall not name.

Our insurance costs increase a fair bit with a wood stove. And I don't believe you could put one in and run it until the whole thing was "inspected and approved." I think some insurance companies might even balk if it isn't a grandfathered situation. I know of someone who purchased a house...but couldn't use the fireplace because of the insurance.

All that may well be true in Canada; maybe in parts of the U.S. All I know it I never ran across it.

You have in floor heat??? No fair!!!!

I loved the in floor heat at the barn. So toasty on my footsies.

Yup. Splurged on it; well worth the investment. It's so nice on those -10F mornings.

 

[kwhites634]

Maybe, but I am spoiled with the in-floor heating and rebel at giving up my toasty floors

We don't have in-floor heating per se; we cut 2 holes in the floor & put 2 floor registers in them to allow the heat to come through

Ohhh...is the in floor heating like having heated seats in the car?
I'd NEVER use it.
Having the AC in the seats is a super nice feature down here.

Uhh... Sorta?

I don't have heated seats. Too pricey.

But you have heated floors?!?!
That sounds pricey to me...

Put some socks on!

 

[BantyChooks]

I keep forgetting that southerners don't have any concept of a heating system.

 

[Kiki]

Are the heated floors the only thing that heats the house?
Or do you have a "normal" heater too?

It's radiant heating, so the heat comes into the room through the floors. Just a different method of getting it warmer.

Sound too high tech for me.

I'll skip adding it to my next house.
