Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
For the first winter ever, my house will have insulation. Still no central heating, but I am happy.
Happy mac day, msbelle!

I have a heater in the middle of my apartment and the thermostat is right across from it, so the other rooms are colder.
When I am not home, I keep it at 56-58. I turn it up to 70 when I get home and leave it there for about 1/2, at which point I either turn it to 60 and get under the covers, or 64 and do something fairly active. In the morning when I get up, I turn it to 70 again while I get ready, and back down to 56-58 before I leave.

But we only have a heater in the living room.
And it is CREEPY.
Except for the person-sized gas wall units we had when I was wee (I have no idea if they blew. I remembed warming my feet on them) I've always had forced air gas heat. Boilers and radiators and scary-ass ovens in the floor kinda freak me out. Electric, less so, but still weird!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Summer = 75ish (window units on thermostats) turned off during most days.
Winter - no idea, I have zero control. it is hot in the middle of the furnaces ON cycle and it is cold right before they kick on. I know I feel cold with anything below 70.

Being a spiritual yeti, I like to leave the heat off during waking hours and just turn a space heater on near me if it's too cold. I'll break down and turn on central heat if the inside air temperature drops below about 55°. At night I turn the heat up to around 65°-66°.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just reading about how cold you guys keep your houses makes me feel cold.

You and me both, Dana.

Being extremely warm-natured works well for me in the cold months, I spend almost nothing on heat. When it's above about 78° (which is maybe 9 months of the year here) my love for tall ceilings and big windows bites me in the ass with very high AC bills.
