Tree House Academy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Any chance you could buy a kerosene heater and go back home (just for comfort sake)? Our house is really big, so when the electricity goes off, we fire up the kerosene heater and all pile up in the living room (it is an open floor plan with living, kitchen, and dining all in one). We close the other doors off the room, put a blanket up over the entry way, and sleep on the air mattresses on the floor. It isn't exactly wonderful, but it is definitely better than leaving home, I think. Our heater only cost around $150. If you go this route, just make sure it has the removable tank. You dont' want to be dumping kerosene in a hot heater in your house! LOL Ask me how I know??? (or, don't. :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't think you'll be able to shower without electricity. At least not a hot shower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputterduck Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't think you'll be able to shower without electricity. At least not a hot shower! Yeah... I ran out of propane once. It was not pleasant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarawatsonim Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm sorry about that. We had some brutal snow over the last few days and the power flickered on and off an few times yesterday. So far so good though. I hope they are able to restore it for you soon, so you can get everyone home again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't think you'll be able to shower without electricity. At least not a hot shower! Yep...all you will get is whatever was in the hot water tank when the lights went out...and by the time you get home again in 24 or more hours since it went off, the water in the tank will no longer be "hot." If they have showers at the shelter or if you have relatives or friends with electricity, that would be your best bet for showers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
