'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There is no way that having the furnace dude at your house for 2 hours can be good. He was just supposed to be inspecting it. I suspect he found a problem.
