BYC Café

I now feel extremely fortunate to live in an area to experience a high of 68F today. It was gorgeous.
I stopped in the middle of the road in my way home today. This is my favorite part to drive through. It was late so no sun but still pretty.

Looks lovely DL. It's mostly solid green here.

Not to worry Debby, here's another pot.
Good morning Cafe.
I feel guilty just writing this, but, blue skies and sunshine here. Currently around 60F.

Hi Shad! Don't feel guilty about your nice weather...just let me enjoy it vicariously

I can't believe anyone can live in -12 Fahrenheit. That's -24 Centigrade!
-12 Centigrade is bad enough.

I'm not sure we 'live' here, it's more like 'huddle around the heater' here. Crazy isn't it?

Do they build houses that work at those temperatures Debby. For some reason when I think of American houses I picture wood built.

Some homes are better equipped to deal with extreme temps, especially newer houses. And houses in the US are built of a wide variety of materials. Wood is probably the primary type but there are a lot of others such as brick, stone, adobe, etc.

This old wooden house we live in was built back in the 1950's before there was much, if any, thought given to energy efficiency. But as it's provided free to us by the company DH & I work for we can't do anything structural to update it.

If you don't mind me asking, what temperature can you maintain in your living room?

Here's a picture of our company house. We're one of the three located out here in the middle of no where. There's a backhoe in the yard because DH and his golf course employees did a lot of yard work that summer.

Interior temperatures are in a constant state of flux. Each room is heated independently by baseboard heating elements so it's difficult/impossible to keep the temps consistent. Get too cold? Turn on the heating element. Get too hot? Turn it off. Yesterday I would guess my constant fooling kept the living room temp around 65* on an average.

That's a lot warmer than I expected.
