Thread Name: BS: Getting Ready For Winter
Subject: RE: BS: Getting Ready For Winter
At work we're doing other things. I've ordered the thermostats be set no higher than 68 during the day and 62 when we're closed (staff who need to can use small electric heaters -- all purchased just last year -- if they take good sense precautions). They're already getting out fingerless gloves, sweaters, and so on. We're having ceiling fans installed in the administration area, which has 14 foot ceilings with heating vents in the ceiling -- why not circulate the hot (and cool) air? The snowblower is ready to go, and we've laid in a supply of ice melt.

My office is another story. I had one with two windows facing west, but the staff moved me into one with 3 western windows (one "wall sized") and one south-facing. We don't have experience of the way it's arranged, so we'll have to see. In the meantime, I've broken out the ol' sweaters.
