Back in July I bought a new 'manufactured' home. It has good isolation, thermopane windows
and I have saved a bundle on heating bills.

Yesterday my neighbor asked me how it 'heated', I told him that my latest bill was 65.00,
he then told me that his was $40.

He is in a 'double wide' that is from the 80's, his furnace has a pilot light. No way can his bill be $40.

I thought that penis size on the web was where it ended. Do you ever 'embellish?'
BTW, I am 10 inches hard:rotflmao:
 
Depends on where you keep your temperature.

Set it at 65 F during the day and 55 to 60 F at night and you will save a bundle.

edit: We have ours at 58 F during the night and I wake up sweating, so he may just sleep hot.
 
^^Agreed.

We program ours to different temperatures throughout the day and night for comfort reasons. Like when we wake up in he early morning we want the house to be nice and toasty. But when we go to bed at night we want it to be around 67 or so. Beside, the big-ass 65 pound 6 months old we found in the woods a couple months ago that sleeps in the bed with us gives off plenty of body heat. He acts as a natural heated blanket.

I am envious. And of your heating bills too. In January, the heating bill for our farmhouse was a little over $1000.00.....

Oh yeah? I keep mine at 64 during the day and 57 at night!

It's amazing what people will lie about. Especially how much they get paid. I always get a laugh out of those ones.
 
I've wanted a double-wide ever since I saw 'em. With a hot tub. Loved the concept of no stairs to the can.

If he lives alone and closed off all but one or two rooms, it might be that low if he set temp not nearly high enough and the weather was good. But if it was a too-quick rejoinder, probably not. I don't tend towards embellishment but I do tend towards lazy vocabulary. Particularly extraneous word additions that slightly shift the amount of inclusion in a statement on a particular point. Tho shortchanged sentences can also be a problem.

But embellishment? Lawks, no. Wouldn't dream of it. I find the truth to often be startling enough.

When we were growing up, my father always had our house warmed to 72F. WTF. Even at night. In the winter, I would open my window in order to gasp at some fresh air while I slept.

I loved staying at my grandparents' house because it was heated with a gas stove in the back kitchen and a coal stove for the front....and when we got up in the morning, it would be around 35 F.

Once I was on my own, the temp settings went way down. When we are at home after work, we might set it at 20C if it is a cold wind blowing. Today it is at 19 F because we have been baking and spending the afternoon reading under the duvet.

No lie.

Are you on propane or natural gas? Over here in Mich. propane is much more.

I was just joking. We keep the heat at 72F we're both cold blooded i guess. Sometimes up to 74F. I'm on a budget plan and only pay $64 a month on natural gas. $45 a month on electric budget.

I can understand the huge bill on a mobile home. I had a budget over $110 a month in a home built in the 70's. The savings in utilities actual makes my house cheaper to live in.
 
I would heat my entire flat to about 22c by day and 18c at night if I could afford it. As it is, I only heat one room during the day and just spend all my time in there. I can hardly wait until the weather gets warmer; I hate feeling cold all the time.

Is that pretty common that renters pay for heat? What other utilities do you have to pay. In the US, apartments usually include heat, water and trash. Tenants pay electricity.
 
With some people I never trust what they announce they paid for something. If they want to emphasize what a good deal they got, or what good negotiators they were, they lower the sum; if they want to emphasize how precious the item is, or how rich they are, they raise it.
 
He either was lying or wanted to “brag” about how much he pays for his heating. It tends to really annoy me when people seem to ask a question not entirely interested in your answer but has to do with a subject they want to tell you about.

Nothing is included in my rent except use of the laundry room once per week. I pay for water, council tax, electricity, etc. Everyone else that I know who rents has to pay all their own bills. I heat my room with an electric fan heater as there are no gas pipes in the block, and we are not allowed to use stand alone gas heaters due to risk of explosion in a multi-storey block. Gas central heating would be the best option if it were available.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If utilities are included in the rent, the rent will be more.

So if you didn't provide your own electric heater, you would have no heat at all? That seem so odd to me. In my part of the country, where it can be very cold (Minnesota) you couldn't rent an apartment to anyone without central heat. I'm not talking about an apartment in a house, but in an apartment complex. Air condition, whether central or wall unit goes on the electric bill.

Yes, I understand that. What would the average one bedroom flat rent for in cities other than high rent areas like London (middle class neighborhoods, I mean).

I've had a quick look on rightmove.co.uk. A one bedroom flat in Birmingham city centre would cost in the region of £800 per month.
