Feelin' Hot - Hot - Hot!
The People have had a fire, the furnace and a space heater going for the past two days! It is so hot in here, I think I'm going to pass out.
"Have the People gone insane?" you are probably asking. Or maybe you're wondering if we got another 3 feet of white stuff. Well, the People have always been insane, but no, there is no snow on the ground here. Thank pugness! This past weekend we got a new hot water heater, and apparently there was a mishap with water that caused some damage to our hardwood floors. Woman claims running the heater and keeping the humidity low with the fire will help fix them so we don't have to replace them. Anyone have experience with water damaged red oak floors? Either way, please tell Woman to turn off the heat or get me a Popsicle!!

when my parent's were building their house back in 1996, hurricane fran blew thru and rain came all up in the master bedroom thru the french doors onto the red oak (unfinished, i think at the time) floors and they buckled up some kind of terrible. however, they went back down in a few days and all was fine. it was HOT back then (early September) so i'm sure the heat had something to do with it. i think y'all are doing the right thing by running all the heaters!

only water damage like that we have had is 20 gallons of fish water...it did dry out fine. It was Winter, so heat was already on, but we put fans out too.....
