Tough time with house heat
This is a difficult rating for me. The house is large and has an amazing view. The carpet is a little beyond is useful life. The kitchen is stocked very well, less a basting brush for the very nice Weber Grill on the deck. This trip was Christmas gift to my son and his family. After driving 6 hours in a horrible rainstorm I arrived first to find both sides of the house at 56 degrees. I set the thermostats to 72. I messaged Michelle about the temp. By the time we were ready to sleep the "downstairs" side (2 steps down from foyer) was mid 60s but the "upstairs" side (4 steps up from foyer)was 59. There was no air blowing from the registers on the upstairs side of the house. Michelle told me it would take awhile for the house to warm up after being 56. My grandkids were unable to sleep in the rooms on the upstairs side and moved to the floor on the downstairs aide. The next two days gave us outdoor temps in the 60s and we were able to use the large upstairs den and bedrooms even though the upstairs never got above 69 degrees that we recall. The next night dropped to the 40s and the upstairs was not a place to sleep. I again conveyed that no air was coming from the vents/registers. When my son saw that temps were going to drop into low 30s he packed up his family and drove home. I stayed the next two nights because my daughter and her family were coming to meet me at a different VRBO. I relocated to the main bedroom "downstairs" to be warm while upstairs hit 49.
