This is the single biggest sacrifice I had to make going . Some people might consider it extreme, but I have no regrets. I'm saving enormous amounts of and .

I can shave and wash my hair and body with a single 5 liter filling, even when my hair is longer. In summer hot water is free, and in winter I need to bring 1.5 liter to a boil.

I haven't reported on the front for a while. And the reason for that is that it's boring AF. Yup, here I am sitting in a chair again, with a room temperature of 15 °C again, wearing normal clothes again, locally heating with a portable foldable panel again, being entirely comfortable again.

New grid record set! It sure is cold! ❄️❄️

The red arrow indicates where I turned the . It's safe to assume that everything above 3~4 kWh is for heating.

I find this to be a very reasonable amount of energy. If I had to heat the air in my entire room electrically with a 2000 kWh heater, the consumption would be through the roof!

Buying the panels this summer has definitely been one of the better choices I made in life.

It's weird how fast the weather changed. When I turned off the fridge on the 28th of October, it was still too hot outside to keep *anything* safe. Now things in the "outdoor fridge" are colder than they would have been in the indoor fridge, and I have to low-key worry about the contents freezing solid.

Grid consumption dropped from 7 to 3 kWh that week. This week I set a new weekly record of 10 kWh, nearly all of that for the IR panels.

TL;DR it cold.

Consumed 7 kWh this week. That's back at where I started _before_ I turned the , except now the power is going into personal heating devices.

Room temperature started at 17.0 °C this morning. These are normal winter temperatures. It's going down 👇
