    I am one of those people who has a newer house, an OWB, and whose house is always cold. We keep it around 65° in the winter. There are occasional complaints but neither my wife nor I can handle a warm house. My upper limit is about 70 and then I start opening windows.

    I like 67/68ºF but the wood stove gets the living room and kitchen quite a bit warmer when the stove is cranking.

    I could do the 66º Day/60º night if I had to.

    That a girl! She’s looking out for Dad. She’s got a great point; you should take heed.
