I have no problem spending a thousand or 2 on insulation. I saw this house during last phase of the renovation and they actually insulated it pretty good where there is insulation. Of course I am going to go back and add more.
The main opportunity to add insulation is under the house, where there is none. I have some wire to pull for welding machines and electric car chargers and gas lines to run under there I'm going to stuff insulation up under there when I do all that.

As far as the wood stoves go it won't be a main source of heat. I have 3 gigantic standing trees next to the house, i already cut down the standing dead one, another barely alive one and have one remaining high risk almost dead partially rotten one left to fell and will have tons of wood until that wood is burned up. There aren't a lot of trees around so when it's gone it's gone.

I love global warming, the more the better I say.
I have already determined coal is the cheapest heat source besides natural gas, I would burn coal but have no local source for it.
