^^ if your house is up to code (aka you have a GFCI receptacle in the bathroom) you'll be fine

my granddaddy works at a dump yard in the county. someone was dumping a perfectly good space heater that just needed a little TLC. he fixed it up, and it's been a staple in my office for the past 3 years i love that damn thing

Nice one for sale right now on woot.com

$35 includes shipping.

i dunno about energy savings

my 3rd floor 1000sqft+ apt has crap for insulation


thermostat(that ive had recalibrated multiple times) is reading 64 with the heat off.

if i were to set the heat to keep it around 70-72 (for my cold natured self) it would run all.the.time...

$oklahoma power bill


using my lil space heaters to heat me one room at a time = 42 dolla electric bill.


why heat the huge living room when i dont spend much time in there? IF i am in there watching tv i can pile some blankets on and be quite snuggly.

woke up this morning and the thermostat was reading 50 degrees.

this is my only form of heat right now, at least it keeps the one thing warm that matters. me.
