We keep our house at around 55 on the thermostat, but we use the woodstove when we're hanging out, so it's probably at least 75 in that room, depending on where you are. We only burn about 300 gallons of heating oil a winter, but we don't have our hot water on it either. We wear regular clothing in the house, but need slippers when it's cold because the basement gets cold and even though it's insulated it makes the floors chilly. We use a little electric heater in the room where the computer is, and that just heats the person who is working there. It helps to have a house where the energy costs are under control. I can't imagine living in a house that burns thousands of gallons of oil. It would be a nightmare.
Deep in the mud and slime of things, even there, something sings.

Not me. Never heard of the stuff. I just read through this thread as you bumped it up. It is sad that so many good posters that were here two years ago have moved on to other things. I'm in the wool camp and wear layers Yankee farmer fashion. My kids call me flannel man.The job currently held by one of my relative's husband is to install insulating blankets on steam lines in industrial plants. When I googled the term on PO.com it came up with this thread where insulated insoles made of the same kind of fabric were mentioned. Given that the mention was 5 years or more ago I thought perhaps someone might have more up to date info on it, the links in that post are broken.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
