/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Yup, my house has this big hole thing that's about 6 feet by 7 feet that lets you see downstairs, really lets the heat rise. Modifications aren't an option so I thank you very much for the solutions you've provided; I will put them into action.

I don't like that a lot of people think space heaters are hazardous, as long as no one goes full retard with them, they're safe. Reminds me of those Japanese heating table things (don't remember what they're called) where it's just a heater in under a table under a blanket, don't know how those things haven't singed Japan yet.

Thanks I thought that was the case, and thanks for the info. It's nice to see people who have to deal with the problems year round are here and pointing stuff out. I'm not gonna lie though, I feel kinda bad knowing just how shitty your showers/baths must be, the winter really makes them unpleasant.

If you're wearing lots of clothes in the cold and you actually start sweating from heat, take off clothing until it stops. If you start getting hot just put some clothes back on until you start feeling hot again. You want a neutral temperature. If you sweat, you'll wet your clothes from the inside and wet clothes loses heat much faster than dry clothes, and you'll end up making yourself much much colder than you were.
