      What I find very surprising is the lack of house insulation requirements in many places in the US… Temperatures vary by about 70°c over here so our houses are well insulated for winter but it’s also advantageous for hot summer days so you would believe in the warmer parts of the USA they would want to insulate their house so AC isn’t wasted and it would also help for the few cold days they get every year… You just need a couple of space heaters just in case and you’re good to keep a couple of rooms warm enough that it’s not much of an issue when that happens…

      Don’t forget burying pipes 3 inches underground so they freeze the second it gets a lil icy
