My fiance and I own a big, old farmhouse, but it legitimately belonged to my great Grandparents way back in the day.
- It is so full of history and character.
I am so thankful to be living in a cabin full of my own family’s history, my fiance has had to put a lot of labor into this old house. It is unquestionably high repair… We had to update all of the windows to help insulate the cabin a little better. We still lose quite a bit of heat while in the winter season months which makes heating the cabin quite costly, and the coldest rooms in the cabin are the family rooms. I do not know why, however they seem to lose the most heat. My son’s room is particularly the coldest. I feel his room is where most of the wind hits the house. We always have an electric space heater going in his room while in the winter season months so that he stays sizzling enough. This winter season has been the coldest winter season that I can remember since living in this big, old farmhouse. We have had to do even more than common to keep the cabin warm. It has been a lot of work, then some mornings my friend and I just all camp out in the living room near the wood stove in order to stay sizzling enough. I have had to use a second space heater in my son’s room because it has been so cold. I cannot wait for this winter season to end. It has already been hard and it is only December. My fiance is going to see if he can do anymore to help insulate the house, however to be honest, even our neighbors with newer houses are having trouble staying sizzling this winter.
