Hey, got a question about emergency heating for my house. So here's the deal, my house is all electric unfortunately. The last ice storm blindsided us and I'm trying to get ready just in case it gets ugly this year. Small house, 1500 square feet. Which would be better to go with, a kerosene heater which supposedly can heat a 1000 square foot area, or a propane BIGBuddy heater which only does 450? May only be used once every who knows when if we were to have a power failure in an ice storm which doesn't happen often here. I know the right answer seems to be the kerosene heater for the space considered. Anyone have experience with either of these? It would cost more to get going with the propane heater because I'd also have to buy a propane bottle and a hose. Really seems like the kerosene would be the better deal, except I'm afraid it will be an issue with the fuel smell inside the house?
About an hour ago I was passed by a trooper at normal speeds. He passed the van and cargo trailer a half mile ahead of me and shortly after, he lit up his red and blue blinkies. The van moved left, then back to the right, revealing a wrong way car coming at us. I couldn't slow down as quickly, so I threaded the needle. I was only doing about thirty five by then so I think my ali-arc bumper would've held up, but no one wants any kind of crash.
Luckily there was a cross over there, and that's where the trooper ended up.
That is the closest I've come to a head on. I seldom see wrong way events, but this is the second one in several months for me. The other one wasn't a close call like this one was. I came very close to sideswiping the van with the cargo trailer.
I think I need a full hour of boogie woogie piano to settle down!
