Extra Brrrrr!!!!!

Tonight the temperature here in Edmonton is forecast to drop
to a bone chilling -38 C.
And that is warm.
In Wetaskiwin, where cars cost less, the forecast is an even
more bone chilling -43 C.
BTW, both of those are without wind chill. With wind chill,
the temperatures will feel somewhat colder.
I'll be snuggled up in bed with a nice hot water bottle. No
watching Dr. Who. Things will be too darned cold elsewhere
in the house.

Have a nice fireplace put in your house. OR, a nice space heater.

John has a perfectly adequate heating system in his house, as do we. We
simply don't heat above 18 Celsius (64 Fahrenheit). At night, we turn the
thermostat lower. Natural gas is STILL not cheap, you know.

We take the money we save by not having air conditioning in the summer and

Yes we did. And the city of Edmonton proper was apparently
a bit milder than the International airport. Matthew Kruk
just posted something saying the Edmonton International
Airport was the coldest place in Canada last night, with
temperatures dipping to something like -46 C.
Yes, those pools you see forming on the tarmac next to the
aircraft boarding ramps are pools of liquid oxygen. :)

Understood and we do the same. It's still nice (and warmer) to have a
real fireplace in the middle of the house that heats the entire house. Wood
is easy to find around here.

Aside from the gas furnace, we have a fireplace in the living room,
converted to gas several years ago. It is the type that doesn't need
electricity to operate, unlike the furnace. Good in case of winter power
failures--hardly anyone here, at least in the city, has a back-up generator.
In the basement, there is another fireplace, with its own flue, for burning
wood. In the direst of emergencies, i.e. no gas and no power, we could use
it. We keep a supply of wood, mainly birch, on hand...just in case. Having a
central heater in this house would require major ripping out of walls, etc.
In 1968, the "open" concept was not in vogue.

I will not complain about the 1 F temps that we had a couple days ago
then! Although, when it was 45 F just two days before, its still a shock!
The coldest night here in Milwaukee that *I* can remember was -25 F,
which is still only -31 C... You can keep the -46 C up north, thank
you. :)

Good move. I remember the Columbus Day storm of 1962. My
Dad figured we'd be okay with no power as we had an oil furnace.
Uh, Dad? The pump that brings the oil from the underground storage
to the furnace is electric, isn't it? He'd forgotten that.

We do, but mainly for the freezer.

Good idea. We have a huge woodpile of mainly oak. Burns nicely when
it's really cold OR the power is out.

Yeah. I remember. Our house was built in 1992 and it has a huge
granite fireplace in the center of the house, open to the livingroom,
kitchen and diningroom. Makes for a very toasty place in an
emergency.

I'm not looking forward to the gas bill either.
While I have taken steps over the past four years to improve
the energy efficiency of my humble country estate, I am
still a long way away from where I could be in this area.

I actually do go with seasonal payments, and that's so I
have more unencumbered cash flow during the summer months
with I'm more likely to have home reno projects on the go.
There are benefits to going either way.

Ayup. We do the same with our electricity. It's rather expensive
out here in the boonies so we spread the cost over the entire year.
We don't use a lot of electricity in the summer as we turn the heat
off and we don't have air conditioning. Well, not that electricity
would power. We just open all the doors and windows and let the ocean
breeze come on in. :-)
pandora
Hehehehehe. We solved that problem by MY paying for the renovation
projects and my hubby paying for the electricity. Works for us. :-)

By the way, we got the plumbing done in the laundry room,
the new toilet in and a new vent hose (the other was broken
and laying on the ground), and a new ceramic tile floor laid.
It looks lovely and will be well worth the $5000 it cost when
all the family is here for Christmas weekend. I'm glad I did it!

A friend of mine got his bathroom redone this year. New
toilet, new bathtub, new tiles, plumbing and electrical
upgrades. The full meal deal.
He said he paid about $12,000 for the work.
> $> > $> There are benefits to going either way.
pandora
Sounds about right. If I wanted to redo my bathroom, it
would cost more like $30,000. I want one of those cool
tubs that swing open. And I'd need a wall taken out. I'd
also like one of those really nice tile walkin showers,
big enough so a person could turn around in it and maybe
even install a bench so us *oldies* could sit to shower.
:-)
Not going to happen for several years, if at all.

Given those costs, I'm not looking forward to doing mine any
time soon. Not unless I can figure out a way to get a lot
of extra moola to pay for it. :(
The tile walkin shower sounds like something I want. The
tub doesn't have to be as fancy as the one you want.
A lot of the projects I plan to do, I can do myself, and
enjoy doing them.
But the downside risks that come with me making mistakes in
a bathroom reno suggest it is something I want a
professional to do. (Of course, as my skills improve, I may
see parts of the project I'd be happy doing myself.
> $Not going to happen for several years, if at all.

Well, we're retired now and we planned rather well. It's just a
matter of waiting for the checks to come in. :-)

It's not really fancy; just convenient as one doesn't have
to climb into it. Good for oldies with bad knees like my
hubby. Our eldest son just bought a new house last year
and it has the most marvelous walkin shower I've ever seen.
It's big enough that NO shower door is needed. I like that.
> A lot of the projects I plan to do, I can do myself, and enjoy doing

We did too for the first 20 or so years of owning our
*other* house. After that, it became a chore.

Yep, there is that. The more one does, the more one learns. We;re
actually planning on installing fake wood floors in our two upstairs
studies (I think it's called a floating floor.) It's cheaper and
easier to install than what we had put in downstairs. Or so they say.
I'll let you know how it goes. We've bought the flooring already;
it's just a matter of doing the work. Oh, and moving out the furniture
upstairs of course. Not an easy thing to do. It will be worth it
though, IMO, as we both have bad allergies and the carpet that is
in there now is just too difficult to clean what with all the
bookshelves.

I've seen those walk in showers in a couple of dream homes
now, and they are the coolest looking things. But the ones
I've seen have had the showerhead coming out of the wall. I
wonder what they'd be like with one of those overhead
"rainshower" type shower heads.

When it becomes a chore, yes, it is time to find other ways
to do things.
I'm still new enough at doing them that I find dong the
projects fun and exciting.

Sounds a bit like laminate flooring you have in mind. My
understanding is they work that way.
Over Christmas, there is a bedroom ceiling I plan to do.
There is also some prep work I have to do on the walls in
said bedroom, and if I get that done, I can look at painting
the walls on the weekend of the Family Day holiday.
