It’s funny that I mention it here in this article about selling my heater when you probably won’t read this till it is already sold.
Well, I have an old space heater that my dad would use to keep warm while he was down in his office working.
It is one of those heaters which has the coils that turn red when it is warming up. And you can smell the burning smell of the coils as it heats up, which is kind of nostalgic for me because I used to sit in front of it when I was a kid so long ago. We had a fireplace up in the living room that we would use often because there was no central heating in the house at the time. I had to haul the wood in when I was little and I was so weak that I could only carry one piece of wood at a time up the stairs to the living room. It would take me half an hour to bring up the twenty pieces needed to warm the house for the evening. It was great exercise, so much more than how it is now with the electric heating and smart thermostats. I am happy to have such a convenient HVAC system nowadays because I am older and I don’t think my back would do so well with hauling up all of that wood each day. My dad is gone now but his space heater lives on if anyone wants a piece of old American HVAC engineering.
