Adjusting to A.C. only (no heaters)

If you're considering building, probably the best thing you can do for the temperature (both cold and hot) is to ensure there's proper insulation (walls and ceiling) and even double pane windows which will dramatically cut down on the electric bills and maintain a more comfortable temperature year-round.

 

We're in Wisconsin, and it can get as cold as -30C, especially with the wind and snow coming off the lake - it's slightly cooler inside than I'd like (hubby keeps it at about 18C whereas I'd prefer 20-22C) but I made some crochet blankets and wear socks so it's all good normally.

Taking you from the word exploring, there is this amazing Amtrak train offer, where roomlette (your own separate "cabin" with seats that fold into full beds) is 2 people for 1 person price. We paid like 447$ for two of us for 48h trainride from Seattle to Chicago. Food etc is also included! If you are train travel fans, you can find it here: https://www.amtrak.com/promotions/deals.html Promotion does end on 11th of December, but maybe its something you also like.

 

E: When booking it, Amtrak booking system is quite horrible. It has to show "promo applied" text over roomlette when choosing the type of ticket (coach, premium, business etc). For us, it only showed up when trying to book using iPad. In my laptop or Android phone it did just not show up! But it can also be booked by phone with Amtrak.
