Fun fact. -40 degrees is the same in both C and F, and is also called "January" where I live.

I live in a place that has -40°C winters and +40°C summers now 👍

God I sure do love global warming

yikes. My house is about 6 degrees in winter and that's cold enough for me

You shouldnt let the house go below 14-isch degrees since that would create kondensation that might hurt the structure or promote fungal growth. My house is between 15 to 20 degrees in winter and at 15 I can feel my body stiffen due to cold

If I had a choice mate I wouldn't let it haha. I live in Australia, we make houses that don't qualify as tents in the rest of the world.

No real insulation (tiny amount in roof but downlights punch a hole through it), single glazed windows, doors that don't seal. Power costs too much to run heating :') it's good shit.
