We had coal till April of last year and bought a Pellet furnace. So happy to have that. Takes like 2 minutes to start up the first time and so much cleaner.
No doubt. We get coal for significantly less then we can get pellets and I did all the labor setting it up and plumbing it into the baseboard system. After spending $5,700 the first winter we were here on oil and spending ~$1,100 on coal last year it is working out fairly well. My wife isn't too pleased with the coal dust everywhere though :(.

Yeah we had propane boiler heat. We spent close to $5K one year keeping the house at 60. So we switched to wood, then upgraded to coal and now to Pellets. We realized that without a teenager to help with the hauling of wood or coal that we didn't want to keep it up. He will be moving out eventually. The Pellets are something I even I can do myself without help. And is so much cleaner. It is more than the coal was though.

Going to be 91 here today.

We have to keep stepping into the pool to stay cool.

It's supposed to be 36C here on Friday and Saturday... might change though as it's still a few days away. It was only 22C today.

Ewww, that is quite a bit worse than here. Is it dry there? Very humid here. Heat index is always pushing towards 40+

Jinx on the humidity. It's awful. Tropical rain forest.

Dry heat, so the washing is mostly dry in 10 minutes.

Pretty gross when you add heat

Oh yeah, here the washing is literally still wet the next day!

Welcome to living in the jungle where nothing is ever dry. You get used to it.

How old is the house you are in? When was it built?
-
I need an office that looks/sounds like that... and is warm enough to use.

Don't know the details but between the 1500s and the 1700s. From the construction I am pretty sure it is on the latter side. Probably early 1700s. It is right downtown in the oldest European colonial city in the New World, so everything down here is ancient.

VERY easy to get large office space in this style down here with the pool, fountain and everything.

Yeah not moving out of the country. Just need to move south.

I'm amazed at how well taken care of it is. It doesn't look like there is a lot of wear on the building from the pictures you've taken.
