So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.

Surely not… right?

    Oh I see! Some new house have flat root here, but I never really checked how it was done.
    It’s a bit like pool’s floor.

    I read that to get rid of asbestos it’s a pain here, there are many rules.
    If you want to do it yourself you have to ask authorities for permission. You are allowed to do it only on cement blocks.
    A diagnosis is mandatory before any work on it, which will decide if you can do a part of the work alone or not.

    Yeah you need to be careful working around asbestos, especially if you need to drill or anything that would make particles.

    That was interesting, thanks for the conversation 🙂
