A heap of firewood, a mess of snow.

Image by High Above Texas

Looking out of my backdoor, iPhone capture.

In this part of Texas, not everyone has natural gas for heating their homes. Some people have propane, but we don’t. We have a super high efficiency heat pump and our electric bills are incredibly low all year round, however a heat pump performs poorly when it dips below 30 degrees.

I’m glad we stocked up on firewood early this year. We have a cast iron stove in the living room that keeps our entire house warm, without the need for any other heat source.

I designed our home using a CAD program I had and our walls are not typical 2 x 4 studs. We used 2 x 6 studs and have monster-deep walls with blown-in insulation. The floor is insulated and we have 20 inches of insulation in the attic… So the house stays toasty warm in the winter, and oh-so cool in the summer, even here in Texas.
