"similar" hit was from months back for $1
cause i mean, why TF would a requester use an exclusion qual right?

 

We know people that have had that wringer and liked it. When we lived off the grid we had a spinney one we liked from them. It wasn't a wringer, it was similar to this one - https://www.lehmans.com/product/the-laundry-pod-manual-compact-washer/

I think Lehman's has a generous return policy too - if you don't like the wringer.

 

how did you keep your house warm when you were sleeping at night?

 

Wood stove. Also some solar panels for 12 volt electricity.

 

but don't you have to put out a fire when you go to sleep? that part confuses me.

 

i would think no if its in a fireplace or a hearth, its made to have fires go in those for super long times

 

I could never do that, I would do this instead

 

No? Why would you put the fire out? We had a cast iron old used Jotul woodstove - think something like this - https://www.jotul.com/

It was our only source of heat.

 

Lol - we did that too. If the fire went out in the middle of the night it got VERY cold. We lived in below zero winter weather - so there was a LOT of motivation to get up and stoke the stove.

Also I definitely slept in lots of layers of long underwear.

 

Yes - these stoves are definitely made for primary heat sources. You stoke them and they burn slow and last for many hours.

 

maybe I should get an apartment that has a fireplace in it

 

Fireplaces are a lot different than wood stoves.

They work for some heat - but the wood stoves are totally enclosed and designed to heat homes safely. No sparks can get out. You put wood in and then it just burns slowly. We've lived a few different places with combination wood/gas furnaces. You stoked the furnace - and then if the fire went out the gas kicked in.
