So still no insulation under the floor, and no word from the owner of the lovely rug I liked so much--the one with no price tag in THIS POST. Meanwhile, we hit Costco the other day and they had these little inexpensive throw rugs. I thought what the heck, at least under the desk where I work would be good!
I had no idea HOW good...it really, really helped, just that one layer of stuff, so once again I tried to rattle loose some response about the bigger rug...nada.
This is the rug Joseph brought with him from Virginia a couple of years ago...when we considered it this summer it really smelled musty, and I didn't think I could deal with that...so doused it with baking soda and let it sit for a few months. It's a bit dark for the shed, and we're a LONG way from Zen simplicity now, with that crazy flowered chair, plaid throw, and ethnic pillow underfoot, but you know what? IT'S WARMER.
It's 5 by 8', so it doesn't cover the whole floor, but it's a great help where I spend most of my time...
Meanwhile, our beloved old electrician (I thought he'd retired, which he did, but he's BACK!) came this morning with a bid on the new plug-ins so my lamp cord doesn't have to drag halfway across the room and across the bookcase, and perhaps we can simplify the spaghetti cords of the heaters. I also asked him about more efficient heating, and he pretty much said what Joseph has all along...we've got it. 1500 watts is 1500 watts. Oh. Well, yeah. OK. <:-D
And actually it's plenty warm once I turn it up, so I'll just hush now...
