I just have it set at 57 all the time. As well as opening and shutting shades depending on where the sun is over the course of the day when possible.

I’ve been told by some that’s a little extreme for temp but I’d much rather throw on a sweater or hoodie than have propane truck delivery every two weeks.

Yes, I think most of November it was warmer outside the house than inside with the sun....hated that.

Tried to be selective on what windows we'll use during the winter and put bubble wrap on the ones we won't open in addition to plastic.

Yeah that plastic wrap stuff works real well. I use it on my basement windows (live on a slope so half basement is underground, half is essentially a first story) during the winter and i can usually get away with shutting all the heating vents down there unless it’s below 20 or so.

I do exactly this as well. I wear fleece lined leggings with sweatpants over them and a long sleeve shirt and hoodie inside all winter. I keep the downstairs at 55 and the upstairs at 65 (I have a senior cat so I keep her part of the house warmer. She spends 90% of her day on my bed)
