Haha. I hear ya. No matter how old they're always "The Kids"

Yep
PLUS the basement is really set up for her
She doesn't have a boyfriend or anything like that so for her it is still convenient

Sounds like it is almost a separate residence then, at least for her, kinda with FREE housekeeping!

Speaking of free housekeeping, Is Pauline still doing OK, sort of anyway?

Sort of
Nina has a bedroom, bathroom and living room down there
She does all the housekeeping down there
And she helps out with the housekeeping upstairs

Pauline had a wrist brace made this morning at the hospital for her left wrist
She said that the pain really decreased and you can tell that the swelling really went down

Not sure when she is getting the right wrist done

Still no call from the surgeons office though

You have any experience with kerosene indoor heaters

I used one the first winter I owned the house. Furnace went out and I used one for about two weeks. It worked pretty well, but then again it had a blower that sat on top to blow the hot air.

Course I was only heating about 400sq ft.

Guy I know has a small cabin that he lives in
The electric heat just doesn't keep up and he keeps blowing fuses when he plugs in portable electric heaters

Last week it was -10 celcius here, -21 with windchill
