In Through The Out Door?
Simply a matter of physics
My friend's power did come back on!
But it was -1 degrees this morning and forecast for another storm today, bringing several more inches of snow and a coating of ice. 
My sister lives in a rural area outside Danville VA. Their power has been out for days. To make matters worse, they cannot use their woodstove because the chimney flu needs a new liner. To make matters even worse...they just received notice of another approaching ice storm that could lay as much as 3/4" of ice all over everything in their area. 3/4"!!
They should have done a better job keeping their wind turbine unfrozen.
It's killin' them that they can't run their wood stove. Her hubby has that set up in the basement to heat the entire house. But they just discovered a piece of the clay liner fell out and down in to the main fireplace. Before they could get someone in there to install stainless flu liner...this storm hit.That happened to my wood burning fireplace. We said screw it and converted it to gas logs. Remote control has a thermostat so it reaches the temp I set and turns off until the temp in the room drops. No mess, no fuss, no cleaning chimneys or ashes. Ceiling fans move the air and it heats the entire house if necessary.
Their house is in the middle of hundreds of acres of forest that they, or other immediate family members, own. So...wood heat it's gonna stay. LOL.

I hope Monello gave Neal a serious talking to.We never use it so Neal didn't get it serviced when it was in the shop last time.
If I had that much free heat I would go that route too. Maybe contact the stainless flue guys and offer 1/2 cord of wood as part of the deal?
I'm sure that if there was a way to expedite the job, BIL be all over it right now. He's pretty resourceful...heck, he built the house by himself. Every last bit of it..including that beautiful stone chimney..LOL. It's one of the most beautifully finished log houses I've ever seen...every stone and stick of wood in it coming off his property. Even stood up his own saw mill right there to build it.
Most likely Neal was servicing someone else !
