Warmboard is answering some of those questions in this newsletter. You can read the full newsletter here.

		<description><![CDATA[Radiant heat is great. It feels good, and paired with an efficient boiler it can be a very clean heat.   I was taken back when I got a newsletter from Warmboard this summer that talked about the Romans using radiant heat 2000 years ago, I had never thought of it in that context. I would take it a step [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The start of the log package’s journey to Colorado… These logs, grown in Finland, milled in Finland, and shipped to Colorado, have an interesting life story.  The Northern Pine that grows in Finland is denser than our version, because of the shorter growing season, and harsher climate, it creates a very strong log.
