Quotes to ponder:

"If you haven't done it already, spending a few hours going around your windows and doors with some draft-sealing putty or caulk will make a huge difference to how comfortable your home is in the winter."

"Rather than keep the whole house toasty, I've lowered the temp on the main thermostat and set up a space heater in my office."

"Adding layers to your house will make it feel warmer even if the thermostat stays at a modest temperature."
