Same here, it's 47 out there now , been raining all day, and supposed to be chilly and raining again tomorrow... So my pellets are burning to get the dampness and chill out of the air.... well besides that its relaxing and I love just watching the embers tossing about in the firebox...
Before I left for work I came in and it was 65* in the house. I was outside all day... 40-45* all day with a 30-35mph wind so I was pretty much chilled to the bone. I ended up just turning on the boiler because I didn't have time to make a fire.
Need I mention being afraid of heights and working 15ft up trying to set trusses was not very fun!
A few years ago I visited my brother for Christmas. The first night I froze to death! I had wool socks on, 3 blankets and I slept like complete crap because it was so cold. Well he was keeping the house at 60* because he was too darn cheap to spend a few $$s on fuel oil. I was ready to fill his tank just to be warm for a couple days!
