I used my oven to heat my house.
I know that sounds entirely crazy, even though I entirely didn’t have much of a choice.
I was afraid to use my stove top to heat my apartment because it was an open flame… You see, the electricity in my neighborhood was off for almost two afternoons. We had a entirely awful ice storm that took out a lot of telephone poles plus wires. I wasn’t sure that my pal and I would ever have electricity again. Thankfully, multiple people worked easily long hours to get us electricity back. It did take two afternoons though. I didn’t want my pipes to freeze, so I had to figure out a way to heat my apartment at least a little bit. It got down to thirty-one degrees in my apartment before I turned my stove on, however thankfully, it didn’t stay that chilly for long. I only used my stove for about an hour before I felt unsafe about it, so I decided to turn on my oven. I left my oven on for two afternoons, plus it kept my apartment above freezing. I am so thankful that I was able to heat my apartment so easily. I have a entirely small house, so I didn’t have to try too difficult to heat it. I should buy a generator, however they are so extravagant. I just don’t know what I would have done without the heat from my oven. Heating my apartment isn’t usually that strange, however it was for those two afternoons. Thankfully, the electricity is back on, plus my heating system is working once again.
