Our house was built in the 30's, no insulation, no central air/heat, just a gas heater and a fireplace. It's about 30~ outside and I can see my breath in my room. Supposed to hit 20~ tonight.

I never get sick though, and there is nothing better than sleeping in a cold house under warm blankets (unless you have to get out of those blankets eventually).

Theres nothing like lying naked on my warm carpet while pretending to be a bear skin rug either.

Mhmm.....
:Q




No insulation though? Have you (or whoever happens to own the house) considered getting it insulated? That's some major money being lost if it's not insulated at all, summer or winter.

I did that all through High School.

Heated waterbed + 2 comforters FTW.

Cold inside the house tonight, about 16-14 at night and it's about... -24 without the windchill outside right now. Could be a little colder, haven't been outside since 3ish.

Even though our house is new, I usually keep my upstairs area at around 62-63F. I just prefer it cooler so I can bundle up under the sheets,

I open my window at night and it gets downright cold in my room. There's nothing better than being toasty under the sheets. Makes getting dressed in the morning a bitch though because I don't have any heat.
