Yeap I do..few years of my growin up years, and first five years of marriage I lived in houses that had floor furnaces.........I hope I NEVER hafta have one of those thangs ever again!!!!!! I hated it when I was a kid......it was in the middle of the hallway and you had to jump over it when you were barefoot at night.........
Then had to build a "fence" around the one in our house when the oldest was a baby, didnt want him to crawl on it, or step on it after he learned to walk......

We had one in the house we lived in when I was growing up. Mom used to put her wooden clothes hangar over it in the winter time, and dried the laundry that way. We had no clothes dryer back then. Amazing thing about that floor furnace, every so often when I was a little kid, I'd find a new but not expensive new toy for me right beside it. :?

We had a old floor furnace to and no heat upstairs. Didn't take long to get up and down stairs to stand over the heat.

This place used to have a coal furnace (Used to be a lot of coal mined just to the south of here, 50-100 years ago and still is a lot of coal deep in veins) and they heated the house with floor registers... When they went to close up the floor registers and switch to centrel air they just put a second floor over the first one instead of patching the hole... Farmer enginerring....

We still have the col access chute to the coal oom which still has some of he old coal furnace and a bunch of lump coal in there... Know what the kids are going to get in their stocking? :wink: :D

When Greg and I were first married we had a coal furnace in the little house on an acreage we rented. The heat wasn't bad,but what a mess on delivery day.And man-o-man I hated stoking the furnace when greg was gone away to school :( Still though I miss that time of our life :cry:

Greg, your not spost do it all in one day.......we take out several evenin's of the summer and fall and make it a fun thing. We might haul 2 pickup bed loads each time........cut it, split it, and stack it.....maybe have hotdogs outdoors when we're done.....then do it again another day. By the end of fall when it's time to have a fire.....we've got plenty wood, and a whole bunch of summer evenin memories that we made with the kids..... :D
