<DIV>My thermostat is never at 73...summer or winter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The gangs temp is set at 78-80 at all times depending on the heat. </DIV>
<DIV>When it hits above 105 then we move it up to 80. Any lower and the </DIV>
<DIV>kidz bone money would all go to PG&E. I do keep the blinds tilted </DIV>
<DIV>up so the house is always low sunlight. The 2 bedrooms not used </DIV>
<DIV>have the vents closed, blinds closed and the doors shut. I use ceiling </DIV>
<DIV>fans and a couple of oscillating fans to circulate the air that are on 24/7. </DIV>
<DIV>The kidz all usually hang out in either the living room or my bedroom which</DIV>
<DIV>has darkening drapes. If the kidz want sunshine they go out their dog door.</DIV>
<DIV>None of them complain....though they usually nap more in the summmer</DIV>
<DIV>heat. Not a bad trade off. LOL</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We send drool to all in need.</DIV>
