I'...I don't think you're crazy at all. I'd keep my furnace down this low (in fact, I'm striving to keep it OFF this whole winter), but I do get some resistance from my husband. We have a woodstove, though, and it does a great job of keeping the whole house (one floor, 1500 sq ft) warm. The two furthest away bedrooms get chilly, which actually works to our advantage, because our bedroom has become a good "cold" storage place ;). Is it weird that we have potatoes, pumpkins, squash and apples in our bedroom? You don't have to answer that ;).<br /><br />For people who don't want to wear a down jacket, I would suggest a nice, fluffy robe - yes, over your clothes. If you're home, who cares that you're in your robe ... right? :). Wool is also a very nice, naturally warm material to wrap up in ;).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.com
