It's getting on towards Northern Hemisphere winter, and people are coming out of the woodworks asking about space heaters. Since I answer this question so frequently, I decided to just make a website answering it. :)

Feel free to give the link to others.

My landlord recently came back from a week-long vacation to Costa Rica. He told me all about the parrots and monkeys and sloths they saw, but says they didn't photograph well. I totally want to go now.

My Heat

Mar. 28th, 2007 08:08 am
As you may or may not recall, I pay just over $200/month for my gas heat bill, but electric heat is free. I must have the heat on if it drops below 24ºF out - under that temperature, a space heater is insufficient to keep my bedroom warm enough for Gabe and I. The bedroom can survive higher but still cold temperatures, but the rest of the house will be cold - if it's under something like 40ºF out, without the gas heater the rest of the house will be under 65º, the point at which my fingers are numb when typing.

Now that this week is in the 50's and 60's, it's time to decide whether to shut the heat off. What do you think?

floors

My goodness, the floors are absolutely gorgeous! It's really just amazing. They're a beautiful light wood, warmly almost yellow, and as far as I can tell it's the original wood too, just had the old covering stripped and then relaminated. Well, except for the very outer entryway which had wood put in instead of whatever gunk it used to be. It's really beautiful. The whole downstairs apartment was done as well as the entry hallway and the steps up to the first landing. I propped open the front doors to air it out, I'm a bit concerned about the fumes coming up to Gabe, so when I went out I closed his bedroom door and turned on his fan sucking in fresh air.

Car is unloaded, except for a few boxes that I'm taking to campus. I'm supposed to for my last HW assignment for the online class take a look at some others' final projects and comment; maybe I'll do that tonight. Wash is in, I pick it up in some 10 minutes. Then I'll go grocery shopping w/ mom's car and maybe go back out for sushi after I've put the groceries away. I can read my owner's manual over fish, I still haven't read it all.
