We also found that filling the bathtub up with scalding hot water worked, though it added a touch of humidity, so we had to do it over and over again to keep the humidity from causing chills.<br /><br />But as far as space heaters go, if your wiring is sketchy to begin with you're almost begging for a fire. :/Augusthttp://www.vestige.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-50237766356519600572010-01-10T18:06:18.890-05:002010-01-10T18:06:18.890-05:00Do you pay for power (uh, I guess you Ontarians ca...Do you pay for power (uh, I guess you Ontarians call it "hydro")?

I'm sure you know your landlord needs to keep a temperature of 21 degrees C. I had the same problem as you in my last apartment - at one point, the temperature was 12 C! My landlord bought me some oil radiators which were great - until I continued to blow out fuses (since the apartment was also poorly wired). Needless to say, I don't live there anymore. (Now I have the opposite problem: my apartment is too hot in the winter. Sigh.)writer_guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716217210281025515noreply@blogger.com
