You t'othersiders really have copped some incredibly cold weather Deb!

 

We seem to have missed out on the cold weather so far.  At the moment sitting here in shorts and a t-shirt ..... doors out onto the back terrace and garden wide open!

 

Have you ever considered putting in central heating Deb?

We have had a much colder winter this year than last year Laney. Can't even imagine e shorts and T shirts atm😀

I would so love to have ducted heating, but we can't do it, the brick walls of each room go right down to the ground (if that makes sense) this house was built solid. I suppose we could if we ripped up the floorboards, but we'd risk wrecking these lovely Baltic floors

Laney, that's weird and Deb and Flashie would laugh at me but I've been really feeling the cold this year even though I know it's not really cold.

Today I am wearing one of what I bought yesterday.  I noticed that Target had some Merino wool thermal tanks and Tees (OK, thermal undies) but I thought they might be itchy to wear.

Yesterday I thought I'd take the chance and I've got one on and it's brilliant!  I might even save on electricity.  Not itchy at all and so warm. 

 

Lucky I bought a couple as they were nearly sold out.  Once we're into winter any new stock brought in is in preparation for spring.

Don't you have access to the foundations through a small door in the outer wall?  There would be no need to rip up the floorboards - just cut a hole for the vents and put some old brass vent fittings in?

 

That is what I did when I installed mine in the mountains.  No floorboards wrecked in the process.  Couldn't be without it up there lol

Maybe I just have more padding than you j*oono 

 

We have not used the gas heating so far and only put on the RC aircon a couple of times and that was mainly to keep LL warm when she is not feeling so good.

Morning Icy.  What did you think of Bolts awkward interview with Hockey over choppergate?

Hi Joono.

 

See my comment on the Bolt thread.

Yes, I read it.

 

Just cooking brunch before it turns into lunch again.

No door, no access Laney all we have are old metal vents on the outside walls Also the block slopes and the house is pretty close to the ground in some spots.
