If the heat source is in the basement, I think the basement would hold a good portion of it, but release it slowly to the upper floors. I'll have a ceiling fan and I will have other fans etc. I think the trick might be to keep the air moving, which would be easy if I'm there looking after things, but if not, a heat source in the basement should definately keep the important things from freezing for sure. I am kinda learning as I go though. I know when I had my propane heater in the the basement, it was nice an cozy down there. But when I run it on the main floor, it does warm me up, but not quite like the basement.Frugal Canadian Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177261116826690085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397301028248675567.post-87945334554622250062010-12-24T17:32:37.858-08:002010-12-24T17:32:37.858-08:00Thanks Jen.

That propane probably has about 4-6 pounds left in the bottle when it pretends to be empty, so I'm probably using more like 15 pounds in 6 hours or so, but it just seems to quit putting out in the colder temps, unless you keep shaking the tank every few minutes. Propane actually kinda sucks sometimes. I knew what ya meant about Tony, I hope his family is coping good also.Frugal Canadian Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177261116826690085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397301028248675567.post-88557206335537123102010-12-24T17:11:18.143-08:002010-12-24T17:11:18.143-08:00Thanks Jeanie.

You should stop today and give yourself a giant pat on the back. <br /><br />Although I have a goal to one year spend a full year in a "four-season" place or maybe a year in a very cold, snowy place, I can't imagine ongoing temps in the -6F category with snow that doesn't melt after a few days. My hat's off to you. 20 pounds of propane in six hours is crazy!<br /><br />I am saddened to learn that Tony is no longer with us. I was a follower of his blog for a good while. Then, during the summer, I got wrapped up in full-time work + the addition of summer school + the ending of the grant I worked for + the start of a new one, so I quit reading most blogs that I followed. I just didn't make the time. I hope his family is getting through, especially during this first holiday season with their Tony.<br /><br />Looking forward to future updates on your blog.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826144253232267217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397301028248675567.post-33056980712947471492010-12-22T21:37:15.229-08:002010-12-22T21:37:15.229-08:00Mark it looks great!Mark it looks great!cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.com
