Who heats their house to more than 55F-60F now?


Anybody who doesn't want to freeze to death. You are aware that you can die
of exposure at 55F, right? -Dave

I really don't like it below 70 unless I'm sleeping. Sometimes thats even
hard for older folks. If I'm home watching TV after dinner, its got to be at least 73.

I go camping outside in the 40's. It's usually in the summer on those extra cold nights when you least expect it.

I have plenty of trees in the back yard. i do plan on putting the wood/coal stove back
in the garage. I do have an extra stove brick chimney attached to the house but
its in a poor location. Someday I will have to connect up a stove.
