What is an appropriate inside temperature?
Edited on Sat Aug-18-07 01:29 AM by XemaSab
It's Redding in August. It's 73 outside, and 66 inside. I think it's too fucking cold in this house.

Please back me up here.

1. Well, I keep my house at 60 in the winter.
Were you thinking of turning the furnace on, wussy? }(

5. Oh you're right. That's ridiculous.
You should turn the AC off and open the windows.

7. 73* in Redding in the evening should feel good XemaSab...
Edited on Sat Aug-18-07 02:00 AM by adsosletter
...I'd open up some windows, let the breeze move through...in fact, 76* is a very nice temp...

I don't know what your daytime temps have been (ours down here in Suisun have been HOT) but when I went through Redding in July, on my way home from a trip to Cedarville, it was 115*.

You guys get some pretty wild temperature extremes up there...

OT but, my aunt and uncle live in Palo Cedro. and a friend of ours teaches nursing at Shasta College...

:D

13. 66 is too cold
70 is about right

In the winter I settle for 66 and put on a sweater

In August, my sweaters are packed away.

17. 21C is perfect, in my opinion.
That's as close to 70F as dammit.

18. 75 for me
Edited on Sat Aug-18-07 07:50 AM by DarkTirade
Lowest I can put the thermostat without getting a huge power bill every month, but highest I can put the thermostat without getting too hot... Florida weather sucks.

21. 76°

I use a small oil-filled heater in my bedroom at night. It's too soon for the wood-stove and I don't want to heat the entire house, everyone else likes it cool. BTW ~ It's 63° at 10:22 AM in Woodstock.
