This has been a warm winter, and it's the first winter in the seven or eight since I've lived in this cottage that I haven't turned the furnace on even once.
@MLE_online warm winters are weird, the last couple have been super mild here, but this one is proper cold so far, and that makes me feel better.
the other night, our bad kitty managed to turn the thermostat up to 85°f in her furious pursuit of a bug. i was in the unheated basement at the time, and thought the house was on fire when i came upstairs to the swelling house. nice stress test for the 60 year old boiler
@MLE_online Same here. We haven't run the heat at all this winter. What's more, the past few days I've had all the doors and windows open all day long. :-)
@MLE_online While I know mentally that this is a terrible, terrible thing... being able to open up the house for heat during the day and not run the heater in January makes it really hard to internalize that fact.
