I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

65 during the awake times, 62 during the asleep times. JMHO.

71*

Whoa.

I though I was a baller at 70.

Nah she was the same at 30. It’s a European thing IME. I feel like NA is overheated AF.

Nice. take it to the next level! https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/...potato-waffles We make these or some variation of for a mid week dinner with a side salad, double it and use left over ones in the morning with a poached egg and some smoked salmon on top. yes.

Oh damn!

My father in law lives with us. He is 93. If it doesn't feel like your balls are melting then he says he's too cold and is going to get a chill and get pneumonia and die. Of course he then proceeds to get overheated. He's not used to central heating.

This isn't the "INLAWS CAN GO THE FUCK HOME ALREADY" thread!

Or are you saying: I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ, I should never have let her talk me into letting her dad move in with us! B/c my mother-in-law lives with us and: I feel you on that one!

70 during the day, low 60s at night, and it better be cold at bedtime but she better be warm before bedtime!

70 during the day, low 60s at night, and it better be cold at bedtime but she better be warm before bedtime!

Then at the end of the month: "Why is our heating bill so high?"

My wife MUST have the insulating blinds open during the day, and forget closing them when she's gone.

Middle of the night, middle of winter, wakes me up "Open the window, I'm hot!"

This. Menopause not all bad at our house. I finally got to stop sweating year around.

[skaredshtles]

70F during the day when the wife is upstairs (her WFH office is in the basement), but 65F when she isn't.

56F at night.

What’s the consensus on these big temp swings on people’s settings?

70 in the day and 56 at night is huge.

That can’t be efficient can it?

Bringing the house from 56 to 70 in the morning that furnace must be chugging for at least an hour or more.

I keep mine at 66 at night and to get up to 70 in the morning takes 20-30 min.

I am happy to announce my wife has learned how to properly load the dishwasher.


And regarding the topic of the day.... heat is always at 65.

[MiddleOfNight]

64 always.

Congrats!

You must be proud of him.

My wife has trained our daughters to follow her lead when it comes to the temperature in the house.

Hot outside = house is so cold that people wear hoodies and sweatpants.

Cold outside = house is so hot that people wear tee shirts and shorts.

Drives me fucking bananas, but I am out numbered and don’t want all 3 of them ganging up on me making my life a living hell.

Following this logic, shouldn't you just leave it at 70F?

I would but the upstairs is 3-5 degrees warmer and I can’t sleep in that heat.

I’m shocked — shocked I say — to learn some of you failed Thermodynamics.

Internet confirms my logic:

https://www.chicagotribune.com/busin...07-column.html

Relevant bit: "Leave it up. Another common refrain is that it's cheaper to keep your home at a constant temperature, even when you're not home. "Almost never true," Sherman said, noting again that homes with heat pumps can be an exception. "If the system is running less, it means it's using less energy," he said. Says the U.S. Department of Energy on energy.gov, "You can easily save energy in the winter by setting the thermostat to 68 degrees while you're awake and setting it lower while you're asleep or away from home." Figure you save up to 1 percent per year on your heating bill for each degree you set back the thermostat for eight hours, such as when you're sleeping or at work. A 10-degree drop could be 10 percent savings."

Fuck you and your elitist coastal horseshit!



FTR: I've never taken an engineering class in my life. And it obviously shows.

GTFO with your silly talk of "efficiency"!

Want to hear of efficient? In mid-summer, we have the ac set to 64 at night. We wake up, and flip it to the furnace to heat it up to 70, then back to ac, 70 during the day and down to 64 at night. Lather, rinse, repeat. Super duper efficient.

You need to take control of your household, man!

Wait. You're married to a ginger, right? Never mind. Just let her do whatever she wants.

OMFG, that would drive me insane.

Not to mention I can't even FATHOM the utility bill.

@Danno - can't you use the "think of the children and their future in an uninhabitable Hellscape"? Shit - you could probably buy a new bike on *one* year of utility savings.

15° (59f) at night and 18° (65f) during the day. Perfect shelf temp for red wine and whiskey. Wife's scottish ancestry makes for no argument for keeping the heating bill low. And when the 8yr old princess complains, we toss her a sweater and reminder Elsa prefers the cold. So far so good.
