[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even your upstairs is too cold to be hospitable to just about anyone but yourself. Your ‘guest room’ is basically a refrigerator, so why would you even offer?? It would be like me offering friends a weekend at my lake house, only they have to sleep on the gravel driveway. Don’t be absurd.

If for some reason you end up with a guest down there, YES you raise the heat!! To 75 at least. 65 is what is legally required to be habitable. So you open your window to cool down your room, or you sleep in the root cellar. [/quote]

Wait what? Why would anyone raise their heat to 75? I think OP is ridiculous but we keep our heat at 65 in the winter and it’s fine. If we had guests we would raise it to 69 or so, of course.

Sigh. Because the basement, which is the offered space, is 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house. So to get to 65 down there, you'd have to have the house at 75. Which, by the way, is absurdly high, which means that their "guest room" is more like a screened in porch - it's seasonal, and this ain't its season. [/quote]
