When the temperature is warm, minimize clothing layers, and create a breezeway by opening garage doors, windows and doors.  How to Stay Warm Inside when It's Freezing Outside Easy Scale: [9] (1-10 scale, 1 = Difficult and costly, 10 = simple and no cost or little effort) Impact Scale: [2] (1-5 scale, 1 = Minor but worthwhile, 5 = Strong impact on environment) Want more info... If the temperatures are still too unbearable, try localized heating (space heaters) and cooling devices (fans and window A/C units) to only change the temperature in a specific room, instead of the whole house. Category: Home User Comments  I love this idea! It works! Even when I was young, my mom applied this concept to our house. Even during the hottest Florida summers, the thermostat never went below 78...I love having the windows open as much as possible anyways...I love the fresh air and hearing the birds. lolazion - 4/27/2009 3:54:36 PM   You must have an account to make a comment (it's free!)

TV sets make good plant stands for my vegetable garden containers. I used old washtubs and enamel cookware for planting herbs, beets and cabbages. A worn out fiberglass canoe made a fine onion, garlic and spinach bed. A wood bookcase on its side planted in rows of carrots and swiss chard made a raised bed and keeps the rabbits out. Even old tires work well with marigolds and trailing nasturtiums. It really cleaned up my yard and it's useful and decorative. P.S. Broken microwave ovens keep your garden tools dry and handy right where you need them." dalai mama on 5/14/2009 about the action Recycle and reuse items around your house for other purposes   Subscribe to RSS headline updates from:
