66 and 60, respectively. When DH and I bought this house, we spent a significant amount on a new boiler (not planned!), new windows and a new front door. Last fall, we installed a high-efficiency woodburning insert in the fireplace. The combination of all of these means that our downstairs is often in the low 70s while we're having a fire and the thermostat doesn't kick on. Sure, the bedrooms are chilly, but I like sleeping in a cool room with lots of blankets
