I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. The blankets were all warm and toasty and the apartment was frigid. I got up long enough to run and turn the heat on, then I burrowed back under the covers until it heated up some. Apparently it's supposed to get warm again next week, which will be sad. Still, it's a positive sign that that which passes for winter in Louisiana is on its way. Now I need to look into finding some firewood and learning the proper way to build a fire in a fireplace.

You might want to have the flue inspected and cleaned, and make sure the damper is working, too.

Good idea. I'll ask the apartment complex when the last time that was done is. I think they do chimney inspections every year for the apartments that have them.

Use the junk you get in the mail for fire starter. It is a perfect way to recycle stuff you don't want to put in the trash, like credit card offers...or check books from 2002.

A fire will be lovely. You'll be surprised how much it heats the house. It may really cut down on heating bills. Unfortunately, I only have about 3 hours before bed when I get home, and don't fuss with a fire. That is why I have Nightsky Master of the Fire.

Good idea. Thanks. I plan on taking advantage of my fireplace mostly on weekends starting this one :)
