The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Bad:  The glass in our wood stove door was broken last night.

The Good:  We found glass replacement parts.

The Ugly:  The cost is about $180.00 to replace it.  If we don't, we have no choice but to use our floor electric heaters (will run the electric bill $600-900.00/month to run).  We will have to cut back on food, skip Thanksgiving meal and replace the glass in the wood stove.  I am currently searching for local glass businesses as well.  Hopefully, I can cut our cost in half or less.

Wow! That sounds like highway robbery! Hope you can get a better deal.

Here's an idea- set up a PayPal account (free) and accept donations. I'd be happy to send something your way, as I'm sure your other readers might as well! You could add a button to your website.

Hope you can get it fixed and forego that electric bill!
