My fiance and I own a big, outdated farmhouse, then it particularly belonged to my great Grandparents way back in the day.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to be living in a apartment full of my own family’s history, and my fiance has had to put a lot of work into this outdated house. It is absolutely high maintenance. My buddy and I had to replace all of the windows to help insulate the apartment a little better. My buddy and I still lose quite a bit of heat during the winter time months which makes heating the apartment quite expensive… The coldest rooms in the apartment are the study rooms. I do not know why, however they seem to lose the most heat. My son’s room is absolutely the coldest. I feel her room is where most of the wind hits the house. My buddy and I always have an electric space boiler going in her room during the winter time months so that she stays sizzling enough. This winter time has been the coldest winter time that I can remember since living in this big, outdated farmhouse. My buddy and I have had to do even more than familiar to keep the apartment warm. It has been a lot of work! Some nights my great friend and I just all camp out in the kitchen near the wood stove in order to stay sizzling enough. I have had to use a second space boiler in my son’s room because it has been so cold. I cannot wait for this winter time to end. It has already been tough and it is only December. My fiance is going to see if she 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.
