I'm enjoying reading of your adventures in "abnormal" living! My friends have been calling me a whacknut for not turning on my heat until Jan 1... I think telling them about these people who threw away their fridge will help convince them I'm not the only one :)Turbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265044671480149502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687465013017827111.post-21296751895303862092008-12-08T23:19:00.000-05:002008-12-08T23:19:00.000-05:00Hi Theresa, Sorry to hear about your guinea pig. ...Hi Theresa, <BR/>Sorry to hear about your guinea pig. I'll let you know about the energy use for the space heater. I'm going to plug it into my handy kill-a-watt first to see how much it uses. And then my goal is to only use it if we get as low as 15 degrees. Am a bit worried though that I'll get used to it and want to have it on all the time!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey Keenman,<BR/>Sounds like Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456879031634848302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687465013017827111.post-49686161576403301132008-12-07T23:05:00.000-05:002008-12-07T23:05:00.000-05:00And here I feel it's chilly at 21.

I wasn't sure if it was because of the cold temp overnight, but I wasn't going to risk it again. So we're back to 18 in the day and 17 at night. (Upstairs is a degree colder, because we block the doorway to keep the heat on the main floor where we spend most of Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.com
