    90 by my chair from end of September until the end of May. Give or take a week or so anyway. I'm always outside working or whatnot and when I'm inside during those months it has to be hot. No slippers, or and throw blankets needed. We leave the bedroom window open and it'll stay around 60 in there. My shop, I like about 50 if I'm working, the garage about 70.

    Ideal is about 74*F. That is not where the house is at.

    We just moved into a brand new shop with natural gas heat. If it gets over 65 I’m overheating. The old shop had a waste oil burner that would run pretty much constantly during the winter with the tstat set at 58 it was always cold! I’m gonna get used to working in a t shirt!

    Between 75 and 80 depending on how my days are. :D... but the bedrooms are always cooler, since they are on the back end of the "H" shape floor plan. So it all works out.

    Omg. Do you actually sit in "your chair"? You must have a fair amount of lizard blood in you....

    I prefer 68-70ºF
    although I won't set that temp on the A/C in the Summer.
    The stove room can get really warm but the front porch is unheated and I can open the front door and spill out some of the heat when it gets above 72ºF.
    The back porch/laundry room is insulated but the radiator is kinda small for the room size so I can open/close that door, too.

    70-72 in the living room above the stove room, 68 in the bedroom. Not sure what temp it is in the stove room as I have never bothered with a thermometer. I know when I have been out in the cold a good bit I like it in the stove room.

    70 deg F. Add wood at 68 and reduce draft at 72. Burn down the coals to be at 67 at bed time. 60 deg F in the early morning is ideal and time to start another day of firewood...

    Sounds a lot like my day except when it's around zero with a south wind, then all bets are off, take what I can get.

    68 in the stove/family room is perfect.
    55 in the bedroom for good sleeping.

    When I buy a window air conditioner for the bedroom I have a hard time finding one that can be set low enough :loco: :crazy:
