Charles has been working on warming up our home over the years. He tries REALLY hard, seriously. It becomes like a routine must-to-do every winter. I have mix feelings about this. I am glad that he puts so much effort into our home but at the same time he spent so much time in the yard and every time he wrapped the project up around the time when the winter was almost over. Skipping through numerous knocking down the plaster and insulating the house, here are a few exceptional examples of fight against coldness:

As for our master bedroom, Charles ordered this Hot Water Panel Radiator, which uses the same method as the baseboard heater, to replace our electric oil filled radiator.

The biggest difference is the cost. Gas is much cheaper than electricity. We can leave the heater on as long as we want without worrying the electric bill. However, After all these winter, I feel that it’s more like fulfilling Charles’ engineering feat...
