Anyone Turn On Heat Yet?

[C. Stockwell]

BLASPHEMY! NO HEAT UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS!

 

[BBQ.Uncle]

LOL. I was just explaining this "ritual of bragging rights" to people down here. They all think your daft but they have a similar attachment to NOT turning off their air conditioning.

36 here last night.

It goes on every day for showers and doing dishes or laundry. Then it goes off again. Sometimes, it gets forgotten. I have the automatic programmable thermostat to kind of help out also. I'm just wondering when I'll close my pool. Last swim was at 60.5 degrees a few weeks ago. It's gotta be colder now. I've been in colder, and I think as late as Veteran's Day.

AC's are all out and put away. Storm windows are all in place except the 6 on two sides of the porch, which I might do now. Need to replace at least 4 windows in the house. The oil tank is 2/3 full, and the 1982 boiler seems OK (knock on wood).

did the wood stove last night for a few hours

New house has programmable thermostats that were set by the previous owners so the heat kicked on all by itself last week and heated the house up to 70 freakin' degrees.

 

[bigpick]

Just to check that it's all working, other than that I still have my ACs in.

You should fix that. Had the AC on till this morning, burned pellet for a few morning hours. Therm says 27 last night.

Realized this morning that I need to make a plywood panel with a cat door in it so that the cats can still do their business out in the mud room without letting all the heat out through the open window.

Wife asked for heat when I got home from work tonight, so I win.

 

[Coz]

Just did today.

 

[SteelShooter]

I'm still sleeping with the windows open.....

 

[45collector]

We had the central a/c running just last week!

 

[FiremanBob]

Fracking burner stopped running after two minutes. Suspected electrical problem.

Wife has been on the war path for heat the past two days. I’m holding strong but it’s only a matter of time until I’m bombed into submission by the constant barrage of nagging

 

[tuna]

Only wearing one heavy shirt - no heat yet.

Damn.

But 70 during winter is nice. I keep my place at 72. It's my house, I will be comfortable. I walk around barefoot with shorts all winter.

Friday into Saturday temps dropped to 32 in the hills of western MA. Had the woodstove going for a bit

 

[fencer]

Had the wood stove going for a few hours the last couple of nights. The girls are always a little chilly.
Threw the last log in at about 9:00pm but slept with the windows open in my bed room. There is nothing like that crisp October air for sleeping.
Love this time of year.

GF has had the heat on for 2 days now... At night anyway. Gets down to 60 in the house and there's no telling her no...

 

[crazymjb]

Window units came out a couple days ago. Wife is probably going to win the battle to turn on the heat tonight. Playing that pregnancy card.

 

[pastera]

On travel for work in Scotland - had to video chat with the wife to tell her how to turn on the boiler.
I guess the wood stove is broken - yeah, I guess it is since the control system is 3100 miles away...

Rode 67 miles in a short sleeve shirt today in flipping Scotland and she needs heat in Massachusetts, whatever...

 

[Woodsy]

Saturday morning I hit the wood stove for a quick warm up. It was 35 outside so a little chilly

 

[Radtekk]

It was 93 Friday. I'm still running AC in the house but tomorrow should be down to 74 or so, so may get to turn it off. Charged he AC in the truck though, seems I have a leak somewhere. I'll deal with that in March when it starts getting warm again...

you're forgiven....lol

 

[Asaltweapon]

I was in Maine but the wife was down in Mass. she turned the heat on. I told her I was burning wood and she asked the wood stove or the wood boiler.

Thank you for making today's "why I use social media" quota. This isnt gold. Not platinum. This is diamond levels of hysterical unintentional incompetence.

keeping her warm is your job! Man up!

I frequently tell my husband that one of his best qualities is that he's warm.

 

[wilco_99]

It was 60* in the house this morning. Set all my t-stats to 63* I refuse to be cold in my own home.
