I’ve considered it for years but on Wednesday, I did it ! I went to Sipe Lumber and bought an Edenpure heater. Everybody that has one says they’re great. We’ll see this winter !

Interesting decision to not move the Cougar Football game to this evening. Nearly all other area games have been moved forward and the forecast for Friday is horrible. The Homecoming festivities have been moved to next Friday.
