Home Heating Rules

I hate it when its colder in the house than outside

Me too! Why does that happen anyway?

It's normally the case here in this house, and was the case in my in-laws.  It's because they are old brick/stuccoed brick buildings.  This leads to me constantly going out with fleeces in hot weather or not enough clothes in cold weather (assuming that it is warmer out than it feels inside). 

I do have to say that the few times we've had hot days in this flat in the past two summers, it's nice to turn on the fan on low, get a nice circulation going, and letting the masonry/tile floors make it feel like there is airconditioning in here.

Stone-built houses of the Victorian era are particularly prone to slow temperature changes. Once the cold gets inside it takes a long time to get it out again. You'd think lack of insulation would work in favor of faster adjustment to outside temp.

I think it means you've got good insulation. I never noticed this happening until we put a massive amount of insulation in our loft. It keeps your home cool and warm when you need it to. I always take that as a good thing and if it's colder indoors than it is outdoors, I just open the windows.

Both DH and I are "nesh"(word I've picked up via co-workers, meaning that we both feel the cold more than other people do. DH confirmed it. May be just a northern or northwestern term, though), but we turned of all of the central heating. I'm sitting in long pants, fleece, tshirt and undershirt. DH is in denim shirt, tshirt, jeans, socks and slippers. But, we won't turn the heating on till probably Nov or Dec. Needs must, though!
