Heating is kept to a minimum and it doesn't get terribly cold here most of the winter. The fact there are tenants below who turn heat on helps keep our main level fairly warm. We're able to shut the kitchen, eating area and family room where we spend most of our time off from the rest of the main floor so that helps too.

Its funny..."as a Yankee":sshhh, I always think of canada as being lots and lots and lots of land. I'm guessing you and TB aren't hanging out in the Yukon, Northwest, or Nunavut!
It seems strange that in a country with a government willing to give an entire province back to the native occupants, that land is still a premium.
thanks for the perspective.
just wondering....utility costs for your home and apartment? what fuel do you heat with?
