shane39 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Its worse! 3 kids, a dog, a parrot, 2 rabbits, a hamster and 12 canaries Oh and a fish tank The OH is an animal lover You could skin that lot and make some lovely warm clobber. Or insulate the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 What, there have been no wars since 1945? There are a few people around here who were born in the 1910s ... and at least 3 who were born before that. But their heating is paid for in with the care home fees i guess.

Ha3el Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 we have the heating on low for 2hrs in morning to take the chill off and then at night after around 6pm, and it still costs a fortune in gas and is always freezing as the house has no insulation.

Can`t you get a grant for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ...I find the summer worse than the winter, will get round to putting in AC at some point so I can keep the temp below 20C all year round! 20'C? :hihi: When it gets that cold, most people turn the heating on around here.

No, they have to pay for that themselves ... along with their annual golf membership fees. (There aren't many of the 90+ people on the golf course ... but there are one or two. There are also quite a few driving around in cars.... It pays to keep your eyes open, because in some cases, their eyes don't work too well. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think ours does either, if I have the heating on full blast for 2 hours as someone once suggested, I only feel the effects while its on, soon as I turn it off, its freezing!

Rupert_Baehr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This is from the website below. ...http://www.accepta.com/industry_water_treatment/legionnaires-disease-domestic-hot-water.asp Thanks for the link. - As I said, I can't set my water temperature that high. We have plenty of other 'problems' around here. I haven't run the AC for a couple of months, but before I do, I will probably have it cleaned and intense UV bug killers installed. - Mould tends to grow in the HVAC system and some of it is pretty nasty. There is also a (fairly common) problem known as 'sub-tropical allergy syndrome'. When I wake up in the morning, my eyes and nose are streaming and I often feel pretty crappy. - Claritin clears it up within an hour or two (and once the exact problem has been identified, I might be able to do something about it.) 'Life in a sub-tropical paradise' isn't perfect, but I'd rather have a runny nose for an hour or so than shiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
