10/20/2008 7:55:04 AM

yay yeah

10/20/2008 7:58:19 AM

I too was too cheap to turn on the heat and woke up at 55 degrees. I feel your pain.

10/20/2008 8:23:06 AM

fireplace ftw
in a small condo it rocks the house...

10/20/2008 8:25:56 AM

sleepin under the blankets is good, waking up is a bitch

10/20/2008 8:34:35 AM

Yeah getting up to turn my alarm clock off was like a race against time. Thought adema was soon to set in.

10/20/2008 8:37:30 AM

38 outside in greensboro

10/20/2008 8:51:04 AM

we know it's cold when the dog demands to get under the covers with us

10/20/2008 8:53:29 AM

^My dog did the same thing, and when I got out of bed he moved over to where I had been sleeping

10/20/2008 8:55:43 AM

Yep, my dog too was a little cold this morning and got under the blanket. But our heat is off because my landlord is being an asshole and not answering the phone when I call to complain about the heat situation. Seems like I should have some kind of a legal complaint here.

It's 68 in my apartment, and 35 outside.
Don't have the heat on either.

Yay for living on the 2nd floor out of 3, in a well insulated apartment.

10/20/2008 9:26:56 AM

I had to scrape my windshield this morning. I always hate the first day that happens.

10/20/2008 9:30:09 AM

my heat is fucking broken AGAIN.

it was broken last winter and the one before. not cool. i vote for a new unit.

10/20/2008 9:38:44 AM

this will be my first winter in 3 that i no longer have an entirely wood floor place.

that used to suck so bad

b/c i sure as hell cant sleep with socks on, and slippers are ~

10/20/2008 10:01:43 AM

my house is all hardwood

10/20/2008 10:10:49 AM

I rode my scooter the 4 miles to school in shorts and a t-shirt.

I'm hardcore.






And a fucking dumbass.

10/20/2008 10:19:39 AM

My house would be that cold, if my bf's dog weren't a pansy who can't handle the cold. And my cat is sleeping under the covers again

But we broke out the electric blanket last night, and I am wearing my flannel nightgown

You do.
Submit a request for it to be fixed, in writing, and get someone to sign for receipt of it. In that letter, go ahead and state that if it's not fixed by [x time specified by the NC statute governing landlord's responsbilities - chapter 42], you will be filing complaints with [appropriate agencies here]. Then leave him a phone message giving him a headsup that you filed a request for this, and gently remind him of his responsibilities as a landlord, per NCGS 42-42 (Landlord to provide fit premises). This should get his attention, because quoting the chapter will tell him not you're one of the college kids you can jerk around.

pfff my grandfather started a fire yesterday morning and has been adding wood to it every 2 hrs since - i fucking hate winter - my kitchen (where the wood stove is) stays 100 degrees

10/20/2008 10:45:51 AM

My house only got to 61 with the heat off the whole time. You must have really bad insulation if you got to 55 because I know mine is poorly insulated.

10/20/2008 10:49:50 AM

it's nights like these that i really wish i had somebody to cuddle with

10/20/2008 10:52:24 AM

pretty sure we get one of these threads every october.

10/20/2008 10:53:38 AM

I can't wait until the neighbors downstairs turn up their heaters (3rd floor ftw)... I'm freezing in the mornings It's hard getting out of a bed that has a comforter and 3 layers of fleece blankets... Yes, three...

shits all fun and games until you step out of the shower

10/20/2008 11:41:22 AM

cold floors FTL too

10/20/2008 11:43:39 AM

^^

Put a small space heater in the corner of the bathroom when you shower.

10/20/2008 11:51:32 AM

Dammit...After I dogged you about your poor insulation I tried to turn on the heat for a little while and it is blowing cool air.

i went home at lunch and turned the heat on again. it's still blowing nothing but cold air. i got out one of several space heaters left over from last winter. i turned it on and went into the kitchen to make lunch. came back and 2 of the cats + 1 dog were curled all up next to it.

i have new insulation in the attic, none under the floor/in the crawlspace. there's probably not much in the walls either

yay for houses built in 1964
