How hot is your house ?

[Colonel Kurtz 397]

It’s that time of year again, the annual thermostat war. I like a nice cool house maybe becuase I’m a fat fucker. Mrs Kurtz sets the thermostat to 25 plus, sometimes 28 - 30 !! About an hour later she opens the windows  complaining it’s too hot. Drives me mad. Put a fucking jumper on.

18-21. 

 

We have oil and a stove as well. The sitting room is currently about 28 degrees because the missus has the fire absolutely blazing away, I'm in the kitchen which is a touch cooler, thank fuck...... 

 

But if we're just using the oil, the thermometer is set to 19. That's fairly hot I reckon. Of course the cold blooded other half would still need a hat and jumper in that.

I have it on 30 but turn it off as soon as it warms the house up.

[ZonkoVille77 5,530]

15 to 18 when I'm in the house. 19 to 23 when the wife is in the house.

 

Women just have a totally different internal heating system than men. It's what powers their ability to go from gentle flowers to psychotic Velociraptors in an instant.

Cold,ill wear a couple of layers before i bother with the heat

If i do turn the heat on, its on for a hour and i keep the doors closed and it soon heats up

House has two zones so upstairs only comes on for an hour in the morning and night. Downstairs I have on with a 21c top that's on most of the day at the moment. Though the house holds heat quite well so by about 5pm the house is 20c for the rest of the day.

We’re poor so the heating has barely been on all winter, shitty little fan heater in the bathroom, that’s it.

Is this a euphemism?

[lifetime fan 10,855]

17 degrees and slippers is just about perfect.

Ours is an upside down house, living room and kitchen is upstairs. We have a log burner, in the winter upstairs is Caribbean, downstairs Antartica.

The old girl likes living in a fucking sauna and would have the central heating set on 30 with the gas fire on. She'd still have fucking cold feet, cold hands and say she was freezing despite wearing a thick cardie and jumper while I'll have long since melted!

 

The thermostat is set to 20.5 but shuts off at 21.5. Upstairs is even hotter and in the Spring, Im going to get thermostatic radiator valves fitted in all the rooms. Dont know why the cheapskate cunts didnt install them when they built the house like but there you go.

 

Cant wait for summer or at least warmer days when I can turn the heating off.

[TheHowieLama 10,853]

71 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Year round.

A house? If only I lived in a house, I live in a shed. I get heat from the streetslights, unless they are covered with ice that is.

You're lucky to have streetlights lad. Never mind a la-di-dah shed. We're lucky to get the steam off a tramp's piss against the walls of our converted compost bin.

It’s apparently 21.5 in my living room but i’m freezing so just whacked it to 23.

18-21 generally- I'd have it below 18 if I could as I work upstairs and it's much warmer there. Downstairs is a few degrees colder as the house appears to have been designed by a chimp and we need a new front door, so it takes a bit of juggling to get it comfortable for everyone.

I thought this thread was going to be an assessment of the attractiveness of GF members households. I was looking forward to seeing photos of posters significant others in various stages of undress. 
 

Hopes dashed. 

[Remmie 5,604]

Well if my wife is adjusting it, when it gets too hot it gets turned down to about 12 and then stunningly it gets too cold and whacked up to about 26. Then it gets too hot... 

[Red_or_Dead 1,018]

I'm a soft shite with poor circulation so am always cold but I am a tight cunt who hates spending money so hate putting the heating on - only electric heaters so they cost a fortune. 

 

I'd have it on all the time if I didn't have to pay for it.

You've got a whole compost bin? Don't know you're born.

[Bjornebye 25,598]

We hardly had the heating on when I was a kid, winters spent in about 4 layers and two pairs of socks. As an adult I've always made sure that no matter what, I'm never cold in the house. I'd rather be hungry than cold.

I'm looking forward to the 'How hot is your wife?' thread.
