      Yea i started planning one out this spring and opted for DIY. its still expensive as fuck and i hate myself for taking on the project. But i also cant afford to heat my house with kerosene anymore so something had to break. it was my back and my bank they broke. Not to mention Tariff King bumped the prices up on everything 50% or more. It’s worth the peace of mind, but its honestly a 10k adventure.

        Where the fuck do you life where you’re heating your house with kerosene?

        Or How’d you get a computer with modern internet in 1904?

          I bought the place from an 80 year old lady who had weird imitation kerosene lantern lighting from the 1980s, and I have Amish down the road. We do be trying to pretend its 1904 around here as much as possible.

          I live in a mobile home in rural maine. Most of rural maine heats with regular heating oil, but if you have to keep your oil tanks outside in the winter, the oil will freeze so you need to pay extra for Kerosene. It’s a poor tax!
