Is your house warm or cold

taytobreath · 23-11-2013 09:51PM #1

I'm struggling to keep the house warm with the last few days, so I'm just wondering are any of you guys walking around with a quilt around your necks or are ye all insulated as fcuk.
oil or coal or gas, or humans or hot water bottles or piss

If you pay for gas to heat or run anything then you're going to go broke really really fast.

Body Heat ftw.

Gas heating. Rads up high and a monster fire lit.

And the missus still says it's cold.

Rasheed · 23-11-2013 09:55PM

Big turf fire in the range has the whole house lovely and toasty. Two fertiliser bags of it outside the back door will keep me going for the weekend.

taytobreath · 23-11-2013 09:58PM

Owryan · 23-11-2013 10:02PM

Cold would be an improvement for me.

Frosty McSnowballs · 23-11-2013 10:03PM

I'm wrapped up in bi curious lesbians, quite toasty so it is.

Senecio · 23-11-2013 10:04PM

Toasty here.

I'll die poor, but I'll die at 18*C.

taytobreath · 23-11-2013 10:05PM

There is people I know and they are freezing in their houses, and I've been in them, its like putting on a heater in a garden. Surely there must be posters here in a similar condition.
Walking around in a fleece all the time?

darrcow · 23-11-2013 10:05PM

coal fire heating the living room and gas central heating for the rest of the house. only turn heating on at 6pm then off at 9pm as cant afford anymore. we all wear woolly socks and jumpers. we have a choice food or heating.

Gavlor · 23-11-2013 10:06PM

T-shirt, shorts and a cold beer. If it wasn't for the fire crackeling I'd swear it was summer

Super-Rush · 23-11-2013 10:07PM

Open fire in one sitting room, don't have the stove lit in the other one but the rads have it warm. The bedroom is like a feckin sauna some nights.

Seedy Arling · 23-11-2013 10:07PM

Dont know if i am hot or cold. Coughing up a bloody lung here! Fcuk off man flu!

Cantona's Collars · 23-11-2013 10:08PM

Nice new boiler stove,toasty here.Feck forking out a fortune for oil anymore only to have some gouger nick it.

Cost a few bob to have it installed but it's already paying for itself,even the immersion is redundant.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 23-11-2013 10:08PM

Took out gas fire last year,found it too expensive and replaced with an insert non boiler stove I got on done deal for 180 euro.
Tis grand having the fire again and still have the gas to heat the rads and water.

Baked.noodle · 23-11-2013 10:11PM

Oil fired heating and cast iron solid fuel stove with back boiler to keep the house warm all day.

taytobreath · 23-11-2013 10:13PM

no one has yet to claim they are renting or owning a house that is impossible to keep warm

Mint Sauce · 23-11-2013 10:14PM

Are we gonna have an 'Are Ya Cold?' thread every weekend till about April now?

It's hard to keep a hunted house warm.

If its cold it means there are ghosts and they might get you tonight,

Bon soir

Timber Frame.
Built to 2008 Part L building regs so quite toasty but not as warm as a house built to 2011 regs.

Shane-KornSpace · 23-11-2013 10:16PM

Gas heated apartment!
Bang the heat on for an hour and its nice and toasty for the night

My last gaff that I was renting was oil fired and impossible to keep warm! We ended up relying on the fire in the sitting room and the electric blanket on the bed. We had to heat the poor baby's bedroom with an electric radiator for a couple of hours before putting him to bed. It was a nightmare!

Reminds me of when George Baily snapped:

This old house, I don't know why we don't all have pneumonia. Drafty old barn, might as well be living in a refrigerator.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 23-11-2013 10:19PM

A mate of mine fcukin loves the cold.
When eveyone planning their fortnight in the sun hes off on cruises around the Antartic.In fact hes just back from a holiday in Alaska the mad bastard.

BeepBeep67 · 23-11-2013 10:19PM

Got that spray foam insulation put in the sunroom roof and the bay windows best investment to date, has made a big difference.

Shark · 23-11-2013 10:20PM

Had the cavity walls insulated last week. The difference is incredible. No more drafts. Retains the heat much longer. Have open fire going in the sitting room and the gas for the rest of the house. I shall be toasty this winter!
