Our power came back on after about 30 hours.  Of course, it took another 8 for the house to recover.  Our fireplace helped, but we wondered if it was sucking out more air than it was heating.  This was a most excellent purchase.  We slept without it and mainly used it to warm one room.  It was a huge help.

This one turned out well.  I should probably crop out the peeking toes, huh?

Why is my chin shining?  Okay, nevermind.  I'll use the lack of power as an excuse. 

Since we were too lazy to find a tripod (and never thought to take the camera to church).
