Hello all you permies!
I have a few questions and I hope you don't mind me dropping by to ask
The price per kilowatt hour here is 17.9 which is too high for my budget!
If it were just my wife & I, I could and would go without heat which isn't too much of an ordeal living in NC.
But since we have a newborn, we need to keep it nice and toasty. The only problem is the electric bill coming in at $4-500 dollars.
The floor of the room is hardwood and the walls are drywall.. it is fairly large and connects to a joint room.
I am wanting to build a Rocket mass bench heater in my home on the second floor and was wondering where I should begin?
Will the weight of the materials of the heater be too much of a load?
What sort of foundation is used?
Also,
What is the difference between an 8-inch and a 6-inch mass heater?
Any information or advice would be SUPER-appreciated!
