I shuttle weekly between the farm house and the house in town and turn the thermostat down to 45 when I leave for a few days. Unless the wind blows hard, it rarely gets down to 45 in two or three days gone.

That said, MN and ID houses have different insulation packages than KY, and I expect his mileage might differ.

I’m sure KY is beyond old newspaper and straw in the walls.
