1 year agoOther than the same memories you all have of being sick and watching during elementary school, when I was older my friend and I had off campus privilege in high school and we would go to her house quick where her grandma would make us sandwiches and we would watch him the price is right.
Western suburbs of Chicago, IL. Summer it’s 77-79f (25-26c). Winter it’s 65-69f (18.3-20.5c).
In summer we open the windows at night and let the cooler air in and when the sun comes in I close the windows and run a dehumidifier to quickly bring down the relative temp upstairs especially. Helps a bunch.
When our new kid comes I will have to def adjust these numbers much closer to 72f (22c).
I was talking to friends who live nearby and essentially keep it at 72f (22c) year round and almost never open their windows they were using like 1040kwh-1600kwh per month last month where we were using 309kwh or about 50 bucks a month. This was for July. I think we may be the weirdos and we will have to get more on their level with a newborn.
