Alternative Energy?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010



I’ve read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It’s difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.

I have a wood burning stove insert, and smoke is pouring into the room. What’s going on?

Monday, August 17th, 2009



We got a wood burning stove insert for our fireplace about a month ago. When the glass door is closed, no smoke enters the room. Well, today, smoke started pouring out of the blower and below the stove, and filling the room!! What would be causing this? It was very scary. It is windy outside… does that have anything to do it? How am I supposed to get a fire going in the wind?

How to change the facade of a wood burning fireplace?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009



Unfortunately, I have a wood burning fireplace in my living room instead of a traditional fireplace. I like the look of the fireplace itself, but there is stone all on the wall behind it which limits what I can do color wise with the room. (I prefer color - not beige, which is all I can really use) There is also the stone encircling the fireplace on the floor.

Can I put some kind of drywall or plaster to cover up the stone, and still be able to use the fireplace safely? I would like a clean, solid look.

I have an indoor fireplace, can I open it up from the outside and have a functional indoor/outdoor fireplace?

Saturday, July 18th, 2009



My livingroom fireplace is on an exterior wall that faces my pool. I’ve always wanted to break an opening from the outside of the house so it can function both as and indoor and outdoor fireplace. Is my idea possible?
