Getting Badger to come in and out through the basement window is huge in keeping Karafuto comfortable in this cold, and I also like that if we’re both up here when he decides to go out he’ll just meow at me to open the front door again

Like, I might not even have to switch from basketball shorts to heavier pajamas this year. On the other hand hoo, it’s not long between when one round of the heater turns off to when another starts up, besides better glass I’m gonna get the ceiling and walls insulated when we open them up.

  6. fatsexybitch said: Also I’ve always loved transoms + heat pump + attic fan in places where it’s dry enough to warrant, but aren’t you in Portland? Didn’t know you could mini-split a heat pump but that sounds awesome

  8. kontextmaschine said: @fatsexybitch might be a nose-through thing, or triggered off a collar or microchip implant
  9. fatsexybitch said: Ok but how will badger operate an airlock? He doesn’t have thumbs :/
  10. kontextmaschine said: @fatsexybitch and overhead fans and maybe *transoms* for circulation
  11. kontextmaschine said: @fatsexybitch which will lead to me putting an airlocked cat door off one of the study windows
  12. kontextmaschine said: @fatsexybitch no, I think I’m going to get two heating pumps and give each room (incl. the basement as it’s own 2-room unit) per-room controls
