My in-laws have a natural gas well on their property.
Because of this, they have an unlimited supply of free natural gas! They run everything possible on gas, including their oven, dryer, water heater, barbecue grill plus furnace.
There is no worry over the cost of heating. Their lake house is always too warm… My family knows that no matter what time of year the people I was with and I visit our husband’s parents, we’re going to sweat profusely. They don’t use the money they save on heating bills to invest into central a/c. They suffer through the Summer with nothing however electric box fans; Although the summers in our local section are fairly short, the humidity is awful. The temperature occasionally soars into the mid nineties. The lake house can get seriously warm plus stuffy. As soon as the weather begins to cool off, they turn up the thermostat plus run the furnace, and on those days when the temperature is mild enough to open the windows plus like some fresh air, they blast the furnace. My family has dinner on Thanksgiving plus Christmas at our in-laws house, then even if the outdoor weather is snowy plus down to sub zero hot plus cold temperatures, the people I was with and I pack shorts plus T-shirts, then we argue over who gets to take the garbage out to the garage where it’s cooler. When our mother-in-law isn’t paying attention, the people I was with and I try to sneak a window open or lower the thermostat. By the time the people I was with and I leave, I normally have a terrible headache, then i don’t guess why our in-laws need to keep their lake house so warm. It’s so uncomfortable that the people I was with and I never stay all that long.
