bluestone and belgian blocks

we made the switch to gas and on an unscientific level it's a hell of alot cheaper.
i haven't crunched any numbers but I know we're paying a lot less and the burner is quieter, and no oil stink.

I just want to make a note that Tony has helped me with my house for 8 years. Sometimes he's rushed things and screwed them up- but for the most part he's saved my butt repeatedly. When I started out I didn't know a screw from a nail and he's taught me a hell of a lot.

I'm sure that you can get a snake at the local hardware store- non electric shouldn't be too much.

I concurrently owned two homes - one using oil and the other using gas.

Both have risen but I would say convert to gas, one of the main reasons being, God forbid, you can't pay your oil bill, you won't get a delivery. With Keyspan, though, you will still get gas, you can make a payment plan, go on a level-payment plan or if worse-came-to-worst, have time to save money before the Marshall comes. (The last one sounds dramatic, but I've been through this a couple of times and people from ALL walks of life are down there paying at the last minute LOL).

Also, I would check out the rebates that are being offered if you convert from gas to oil.
