I've been experimenting with having no heating for the past four days since my wife went on a business trip just to see how it feels, because I hear a lot of people cannot afford it.
It is a scary stuff if you ask me, four bedroom Victorian house, the end of terrace (six houses), the rest disappeared during The Blitz. Double glazed, insulated lofts and and insulated end-of-terrace-side. And yet temperature vary between 11 and 14 C degrees, depending on the floor and the side of the house. Just to think we are asked to pay £1+ million for the houses that lose 98% of their heat in couple of hours when the temperature hits 10 and bellow is preposterous.
The dog doesn't give shit, the fecker will sleep anywhere if he had a walk and something to eat, the cat is absolutely hating it and she is always on the prowl trying to jump into my lap. It almost feels living like a homeless in a card box.
The only solution is to raze to ground this Victorian crap and build a proper house.
