Getting old, getting cold

Mark, I told my wife about your post and she sympathizes. She would like the house to be at 72 in the evenings...

I work from home too and in the Winter I keep my offices zone on 70. The rest of the house during the day will be at 68 and than we will bump it up to 70 at night when we are using those zones until we go to bed and than it gets bumped back down to 68. If I keep all the blinds open in our Master which my office is right off of it and share the same zone it will usually reach 72 by late afternoon. It's the Summertime that kills me as I keep the temp on 75 and mid summer I feel like the A/C is running non-stop all day.

The wife likes it hot so I have to deal with it at like 75 during the summer. I would prefer it around 68. Then comes winter and that's a whole different ballgame. Propane costs shot through the roof and we were getting like $500 bills (averaged like $80 all other winters past) so now we put it down to like 60 and run the electric heaters all over the house. I need to pay for smokes man!!!! Not propane!!!
