Pod temperature update

[lnr]

It was about 8 degrees in there when we turned it off last night, and about 2 degrees inside when I looked at 8am this morning. Given it's -2.5 outside (according to the CL weather station) that's better than I thought. I've turned the heater on in there now the sun's up, and we'll see how we get on!

Oooh, hang on, I've got an actual temperature logger somewhere. I wonder if I can find it!

Still waiting for Higgs to get back to me about the tiles!

Edit: Matthew and I braved the shower after school. It was only around 8 or 9 degrees when he went in, but by the time I got out it was 12 degrees! How to warm the pod up better than the heater: run the shower!

And Higgs did get back to me about the tiles, we've agreed a price for the extra labour/more expensive grout, and they've ordered them. They'll be installed on the 20th/21st/23rd of January. Which means our two week job is going to be nearly 3 weeks! But it will be done and it will be lovely.

Oh and the first batch of paint is on in Matthew's room and looking good, the decorator and I managed to move the bed enough to get at the walls and he put it back on his own :) The plastering is done in the bathroom and the walls are all lovely and smooth. So it's all getting there!

I hope you can get it to a tolerable temperature!

It's up to about 8 degrees again, but then it hasn't really got above freezing properly outside. (At 2pm there was still ice in the bird bath!)

It's due to be a fraction warmer tomorrow, and sunny, so I don't know if I should make Matthew go have a shower anyway, or let him be grubby and try again tomorrow. But what if it still can't get the room any warmer?

(And thank you!)
