There is a small bit of space upstairs which loses heat. A friend told us we should stuff insulation in there.
We have only used 1/4 of a 20 lb tank for our cook stove so far this winter.

how do you know the level of propane in a 20# tank? A friend told you to stuff insulation in a space inside your home? How dense are you? Keeping the cold out is a priority in northern climates but you didn't know until a friend told you? Thank God for friends or you would freeze to death.

remember trog's attempt at aquaponics? What a disaster. Poor fish died and we all knew he would fail at keeping the greenhouse fire going. Karma hits him hard and often.
Trog even lied about the goldfish in the frozen greenhouse earlier in steemit. He said that he had sold them.
Well, now that you have already insulted me....
It is in a tiny space hardly visible between the floor and the roof upstairs. You have to stick your head down in there and shine a light to see.
So that is why I had no idea.
I did not build the house.
Someone else did.
Insult them if you want.
Anyway, I am thankful for the heat loss due to the wood stove being too hot in here.
Live in northern Michigan and you are thankful for heat loss????????? Is this a joke or you really believe that? If you really are using that wood stove and burning pine and the stove gets the shack too hot most normal people would not take a chance on burning down their home . Ok, I answered my own question.

I guess you dont have a BBQ grill?
By feel.
And by the condensation on the sides sometimes.
Yes I have a grill but the small bottles are either mostly full or almost empty. In between I have no idea the difference. Even tried the level gauge strips and the gauges but none were accurate. I would never be able to judge a quarter of a tank is what I meant.
The gauges are garbage. I tried them too.
I grew up around propane since my Dad works with it.
I got used to just picking it up, shaking it and telling how much is in it.
@thediyworld kind of how you supposedly can tell if wild water is safe to drink just by looking at it huh? that video was hilarious and full of misinformation...
The drinking runoff water was by far my favorite video. A man who claims to be a DIY know it all AND a prepper makes a video showing water on the ground and washes his dishes in it then fills up jugs to take into the house and to top it all off dips a mug into it and drinks it and says its fine. No testing for hamful bacteria and not tablets to decontaminate it and no boiling it as everyone else knows to do. Then he stayed sick like forever but never associated drinking runoff water with harm to his body. He never read that in places where people do drink contaminated water their bodies have gotten used to the bacteria and it does not effect them as it does people that are raised drinking municipal water that is tested and treated for bacteria. He is an idiot
