But imagine the unheated outhouses!

Hmmmm....we were talking about that at work this morning.

TheNewOldHouse has the washer/dryer hookups in the garage so I want to convert that part of the garage to a laundry room so I won't freeze muh butt off. Then all the "when I was growing up" stories started.

I want a heated laundry room....and a sunroom....and a woodstove...and a patio...

My basement isn't really unheated as in totally blocked from the rest of the house...but no heat vents down there, so it gets chilly. Hence my frozen laundry misadventure the day we came to Entmoot. ;-)

When I was growing up...we only had one rather inefficient woodstove (they still heat with wood, but it's a much better stove), and if you left a glass of water anywhere near a window, it'd freeze on the coldest days. And I remember at least once when the toilet froze over. Brrrr...

I appreciate what I gots, for sure!

Yes, agreed...unfortunately, I have reached the age where I like telling "when I was growing up stories." Just ask my kids (now grown, themselves). I've got a lot of 'em.

A sun room is a cheerful place in a cold climate...'course there's not that many days when the sun shines in those kind of climates, but still.
