I currently reside in a fairly secluded apartment on the north end of town! Living here is good if you’re a hermit, an outdoorsman or just a fan of rustic architecture, but in my case, I moved over to this side of village because the property was much cheaper.
- I alway say that nobody would want to live this far away from the center of town? Anyway, space of my inclination towards this unique condo came from how stripped-down it was, but there was no heating or cooling unit, as the previous owner sold it off for scrap to make a quick buck before leaving.
Worse yet, was that the condo didn’t even have a fireplace! The weather here is early until the Winter season, so I didn’t mind staying in a warmer condo until the frigid mornings came upon us; Before Winter rolled around, I spent a lot of money in an outdoor wood boiler to act as the oil furnace for my house. I liked it when it came to its appearance and simplicity in use, however all I needed to do to heat my condo was send some wood into the firebox, and the boiler captures heat from the burning wood and sends it via water in piping to my house. I made a point to also choose a boiler that used a catalytic converter, since it would recirculate smoke through the boiler to add more heat! Much care about how a catalytic converter lowers your car’s overall emissions, the converter makes the boiler produce far less smoke while working. It’s about the closest thing I could get to having a fireplace, and it was also much safer, too! Not many homeowners realize how disastrous it could be to have a fire going in a condo that’s made entirely out of wood!
