Have you had your first fire yet?

[Dazza95]

We haven’t. The house is cool and we have run the oil heating for an hour or so a few times but with outdoor temperatures still getting up to 18c, it just doesn’t feel right to start burning full time just yet. Looking at the forecast, we’ll probably start needing the fire from November.

Fire every night.

 

Entire house is nice and toasty.

At least three nights a week, despite it being pretty warm atm. Reckless.

Every evening since early September.  To be honest I am regretting it tonight - bit too toasty for my liking - 24 degrees in every room.  Way too warm in the bedrooms.

Two stoves greater than 10kw each on from 06:30 til the last person goes to bed almost every day apart from mid summer.

Do you have to throw open all your windows to avoid overheating…?

Yes. 🤣 As I do most of the cooking it’s generally with the kitchen windows open and Im

in my shorts. My bedroom window is opened as soon as I head up. 
 

Its all virtually free firewood and I need the space back. It’s easy to forget how lucky it is these days to not even think about the cost of heating the house, hot water or cooking.

A yes from me

I don’t, as my family are kind enough to throw them all open for me.

I do a similar thing when my wife gets right on top of the washing - it won’t all fit in my drawers, so I have to put a load in the laundry basket.
