Olen kaiken t\u00e4m\u00e4n huolen ja kohun keskell\u00e4 tuntenut itseni hirmuisen onnekkaaksi, sill\u00e4 meill\u00e4 on talossa per\u00e4ti viisi tulipes\u00e4\u00e4. Niill\u00e4 talo kyll\u00e4 pysyy l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4 vaikka pakollisia s\u00e4hk\u00f6katkoja tulisikin. L\u00e4mmit\u00e4mme aktiivisesti kolmea tulipes\u00e4\u00e4 vuorop\u00e4ivin. Kaiken lis\u00e4ksi kun ostimme  talon, se tuli varsin kattavan polttopuuvaraston kera. Arvioidemme mukaan, polttopuuta riitt\u00e4\u00e4 liiteriss\u00e4 viel\u00e4 ainakin ensitalveksi, ehk\u00e4 ylikin. Ainoa joka v\u00e4h\u00e4n harmittaa on ett\u00e4 talon edellinen asukas on poistattanut keitti\u00f6st\u00e4 puuhellan. Siit\u00e4 olisi ollut paljon apua l\u00e4mmitykseen ja ruuanlaittoon. Toisaalta nyt kun yksi hormeista ei ole k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4, meill\u00e4 olisi optio asennuttaa yl\u00e4kerran keitti\u00f6\u00f6n puuhella tai kamiina. T\u00e4m\u00e4 voisi olla j\u00e4rkev\u00e4 ajatus, ottaen huomioon ett\u00e4 viidest\u00e4 tulipes\u00e4st\u00e4 vain yksi on yl\u00e4kerrassa. Olen hiukan haaveillut sellaisesta vanhasta valurautakamiinasta jossa on p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 keittolevy, mutta aika n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 millaiseen ratkaisuun p\u00e4\u00e4dyt\u00e4\u00e4n sitten kun yl\u00e4kerran keitti\u00f6 tulee remontointivuoroon. Puuhellan tai kamiinan l\u00e4mmitystehoa voisi viel\u00e4 tehostaa kamiinapuhaltimella joka levitt\u00e4\u00e4 l\u00e4mmint\u00e4 ilmaa tehokkaammin koko huoneeseen. Kakluuneilla kamiinapuhallin ei valitettavasti toimi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fireplaces1.jpg?resize=800%2C809\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fireplaces1.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fireplaces1.jpg?resize=297%2C300 297w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fireplaces1.jpg?resize=198%2C200 198w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fireplaces1.jpg?resize=768%2C777 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Yl\u00e4kerran kulmikas p\u00f6ntt\u00f6uuni ei ole t\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 koska yl\u00e4kerrassa ei asuta.

During all this worry and brouhaha I have felt very lucky. We have five fireplaces in our house. With those we are able to keep our house warm, even if there is going to be planned power cuts. We are actively warming three fireplaces in turns. Also, when we bought the house, the log storage was full of firewood. To our estimates, we have enough wood atleast this and next winter, possibly even for longer. One thing that slightly annoys me is that the previous resident had the wood range taken away. That would have enormously helped with keeping the house warm and cooking. On the other hand, now when one of the chimneys is available, we could have another fireplace installed upstairs. It might be sensible, after all, only one of our five fireplaces is upstairs at the moment. I have dreamed of fancy old cast iron stove with cooking ring ontop. But time will tell what solution we end up with, upstairs kitchen is not coming under renovation for some time. It&#8217;s also possible to enhance the warming effect of stove with stove fan which distributes the warm air evenly to the room.

They distribute the heat pretty evenly one or two days after has gone out. Allthough I have heard that they don&#8217;t have as good heat-reserve capacity as metal-casing fireplaces have. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have warm house, but floors in the old house are always drafty, so wooly socks and slippers are much needed. Changes in the weather affect quite a lot how it feels inside. When temperatures drop or when it&#8217;s very windy, you can feel it in your feet. Draft is our worst enemy in the house. We use thick curtains in front of our windows and outside doors and roller blinds on the windows to prevent the draft. Roller blinds are handy also in summer, of course. I have also made draft blockers for areas that feel very drafty, like side of the wall on the floor. Draft blockers are fabric tubes filled with dried peas and\/or small fabric scraps. Instructions to make them at the end of the post. I have also heard that compensation air vents will reduce draft. Via the vents air flow into the room is more controlled and then it is not coming via small gaps and holes in construction of the house. However we don&#8217;t have any of those yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of downstairs floors need new insulation and windshields (only one small room done), but untill that happens, we have to settle for draft stoppers and layered clothing. I am used to layering, because my body reacts to extreme weather like heatwaves and freezing cold very quickly. So my winter wardrobe is full of stuff like wool skirts, wool tights, wool pants, legwarmers, knee warmers, fur slippers (you can find <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.evildressmaker.com\/?p=16322\" target=\"_blank\">DIY for your own pair from here<\/a>), slippers, long and short wool socks, thin and thick cardigans etc. I swap these garments depending on the need of warmth. In the winter I am always wearing atleast one pair of wool socks and pair of slippers or fur booties. Here are m<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.evildressmaker.com\/?p=4568\" target=\"_blank\">y tips for layering for winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also collected a selection of throw blankets, sheepskins and wool socks for visitors. There is always a warm blanket or extra pair of socks available if you feel cold. Allthough at the moment it looks like cats have reserved all the sheepskins for themselves. I do have couple old furcoats which I am planning on turning into sheepskins. On really cold freezing nights we use our hotwater bottles to warm up the bed. Cold weather doesn&#8217;t really bother me, because I will adjust my clothing accordingly. Hubby hates thick clothing layers. He is more of a jumper-kind-a-guy and likes to use jumpers ontop of thinner shirts. On the other hand, he has better blood circulation and does not require as much warmth as I do. He hates cold weather though. My challenges are that I have frozen my face, knees and toes when I was younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kittycats11.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kittycats11.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kittycats11.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kittycats11.jpg?resize=200%2C150 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kittycats11.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Kissoilla on ainakin l\u00e4mmint\u00e4. \/<br><em>Atleast kittycats are warm and cozy.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?resize=792%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?resize=792%2C1024 792w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?resize=232%2C300 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?resize=155%2C200 155w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?resize=768%2C993 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/viltit.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Vanhoja ja uudempia vilttej\u00e4 ahkerassa k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4.
