So is the style, gas or wood burning.

It's 10p and I'm burning the midnight oil, editing videos for my 9-5.

And the fact that it's a ranch essentially makes it less energy efficient and also more roof per living space than, say, an 1,800sqft 2 story home.

---I am extremely passionate about the benefits of house-hacking since my wife and I have been able to take a place, fix it up and add value, offset our cost of living/housing expenses, learn how to be homeowners, learn how to be a landlord, learn how to analyze and purchase a real estate asset, AND most importantly - set someone else up with a cozy home that we poured our time, energy, and love into.
