Desert rats who recently transplanted to CT. We have been trying to maintain 68-70 indoors during the day and 65+ for overnights. We primarily use two woodburners (one in basement/one upstairs) in 3900sf. Backup is a fuel oil radiant baseboard heater system.

Welcome to CT and sounds like you guys are holding it down well. No way I'm gonna be able to hold those temps without an alternate heat source.

Gonna miss those western road trips and filling the car with cactus in Tucson.

Trust me, we were freezing our prickly pears here until we got the wood stoves installed a few weeks ago!! Welcome to CT to you, as well, my SW friend!

Dozens of us I say, dozens! Moved here last year from Phoenix, I'm liking these 'seasons' so far

Question: have you noticed a marked improvement in your breathing? I'm stunned at how quickly my severe asthma has cleared up. LOVE Connecticut!!

Yeah, if you have a dust responsive breathing condition it's immediately better out here. What I also really like is how nice it smells usually, excepting the area near the port.
