My fiance and I own a big, outdated farmhouse… It really belonged to my fantastic Grandparents way back in the afternoon.
It is so full of history and character. I am so thankful to be living in a loft full of my own family’s history, however my fiance has had to put a lot of work into this outdated house. It is really high service. My buddy and I had to update all of the windows to help insulate the loft a little better. My buddy and I still lose quite a bit of heat during the winter time months which makes heating the loft quite extravagant… The coldest rooms in the loft are the study rooms. I do not know why, however they seem to lose the most heat. My son’s room is particularly the coldest. I believe his room is where most of the wind hits the house. My buddy and I consistently have an electric space heating system going in his room during the winter time months so that he stays hot 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 This winter time has been the coldest winter time that I can remember since living in this big, outdated farmhouse.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 regular to keep the loft warm. It has been a lot of work, but some afternoons we just all camp out in the study room near the wood stove in order to stay hot enough. I have had to use a second space heating system in my son’s room because it has been so cold. I cannot wait for this winter time to end. It has already been hard and it is only February. 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 hot this winter.
