This afternoon, I could tell I was really down to the last dregs of the propane tank, so I had it filled. It wasn’t quite empty, but I would have run out in the middle of dinner knowing my luck. \ud83d\ude42 What makes this event worth blogging about is that the last time I filled up was last Tuesday afternoon! This means I went six days between fills which means that my propane consumption has been cut fully in half from 10lbs per day to 5lbs since I got here!!!<\/p>\n
I’m hardly heating at all now. I keep the thermostat at about 20 during the day and 18 at night. During the day, I occasionally increase the thermostat to 25 to force the furnace to kick on to give me a burst of hot air, but otherwise the only time I hear the furnace start on its own is in the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n
This is great sleeping weather! The upstairs bedroom is cool, so I cozy down under a ton of blankets, but the main part of the rig is warm enough that getting out of bed isn’t brutal.<\/p>\n
The only thing worth complaining about is that I still have to leave the toilet room door open since the room remains extremely cold thanks to its\u00a0furnaceventlessness. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Forecasts make me laugh now, but we’re apparently going to hit a stretch of sunny weather starting Wednesday. I sure hope so. I feel that I’ve lived an endless night for all but an afternoon since January 3rd!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
