We also tough it out with only a small convection heater that heats our lounge room only when we close the doors.

We live in an area that reaches 0 overnight and days are typically anywhere from 11 to 15. We only use the heater probably one or two nights a week and never during the day, we've just adapted to layering our clothes and my boys and I have cute little animal wheat bags that we heat up each night and stick under our jumpers lol.

We will eventually get heating, however we've decided that this works for now and would rather put our money into finishing the outside of the house than heating.

It can be done people, you just gotta get a little tough!
