Just out of interest Mr Peever, do you feel that you spend a huge amount of your income on the energy costs for your home heating when you live with those sort of temperatures.
Wrapped up in those big fur coats in your log cabins, you are probably so well insulated the only heating you need is the wood burning stove in the corner. Probably.

Just to cheer you up, a bloke from Durban just wandered in the shop complaining that it is "a bit fresh up here". Well it is only 27 degrees.

Its would be a switch for you pipkin thats for sure. To be honest most our winter is not THIS cold. We generally get 2-3 weeks sometimes upwards of 4-5 of this type of -40 to -50 cold. Otherwise its generally alot more bearable. By the start of next week it will be upwards of -7 which is very mild this time of year.

Well I am lucky to have lanlords that charge me a flat rate for my rent and it covers all my costs (Electrical, Water, Cable, Internet, Heat, AC). But yes a fair amount gets spent on keeping the house warm in the winter, but then come summer we spent a bit to keep it chilly as it gets upwards of +35C here. We have very strange weather in Canada as I have been in +48C weather and -54C weather in the same city in the same year....
Worst case we just put a little extra tar between the logs and fill in the corners better

Sounds about right. I have a good mate of mine who lives in George and he complains when it gets below 25C! Where as me the limit of my comfort heat wise is about 25C
