Then all that extra heat generating mass in the room can't count either!

I'm out. We caved in last night when it was 62 upstairs. We put it on 64 before bed. I think it only ran a couple of times, and I've now turned it off. I was really hoping to hold out until Thanksgiving, but with the rain and clouds yesterday the house didn't warm up at all. Bummer!

And I'm done. Had to put the heat on yesterday as my wife had surgery and she could just not warm up. It would have been wrong to give her a sweater and blanket.

LOL!

Nope, dogs aren't allowed in my bed much to their dismay. They smell funny and push me off the bed. NOPE! They can stay on their own bed, which is a blanket in the hallway behind my closed bedroom door.

So, my wife and I decided we had to turn the heat on this morning when we woke up and it was about 57 in the house.
