Over night lows hitting 0c now, hard frost in the low areas. Now is the time my life contracts to less than 200 sqft for the winter.
 It is not a hardship of any kind just a adaptation I do for the winter so I am  not needing to needlessly burn wood heating spaces I don't need or use (first world problems).
 I have window insulating panels that get put on the outside of many of the windows (plywood glued to pink insulating board, then deep pile carpet glued to the insulating board. inretrospect I think the pink foam insulating board was over kill. T o build them again I would have just glued the carpet to the plywood direct, carpet side to the window glass).
 The curtains have gone up in the walk out basement enclosing the sitting area with the wood stove, computer system, gaming system, music system, it is all very comfortable. The diesel air heater is running, blowing warm air right at the sofa I sit on and will sleep on this winter. Burning 1.5 liters to 3 per day. The electric blankets are now installed onto the sofa. One electric blanket just for the pack of the sofa. Pro tip, you only need to set this blanket to 20 watts, that is all that is needed to keep the back of the sofa biased slightly warm, it you want to go crazy push it to 25 watts max.
 On the seat of the sofa, across its length, spread another electric blanket letting the extra flow over the front of the sofa to the floor. This blanket needs A little more power, try 35 watts. Go up 5 watts if you really need more heat, down 5 watts if it's to hot and you need less.
 Now I have a third electric blanket spread out on the floor in front of me, over top the carpet. I lay out the blanket and then cover it with a 8X10 area rug. This electric blanket I run at 40 to 50 watts, this keeps my feet warm. So I am burning roughly 115 watts total to keep the surfaces I touch, sit on, lay on, walk on warm. Works for me, and should help me get to late Oct or Mid November before I have to fire up the wood stove.
