I'm in Sweden. Every year I'm spending April-October in a cute little house built in the 1860s - it used to be the telegraph station for the harbor in this sea-side place back then.
Houses from this period aren't very well insulated (sort of like a contemporary house in California ;) ). So, in April/May/September/October the computers/displays I've brought here are very much a part of the heating. I find this beautiful. They're using like 600-800W at peak, but all of that is being put to use in heating the house. They end up being like 40-50% of the electric heating cost.
(Internet access is provided via LTE. I'm typically getting around 60/30 Mbps. Quota of 50 GB per day. Need to send a text message if you want more.)
- interactivecode 7y agoany resources on finding and staying long term in cabins/houses like that? I would love to stay 4-6 months in cute little cabins. Vacation rentals aren't really it
- tpmx 7y agoIn general: I think you need bite the bullet and actually buy one. :) For Sweden: if you're able to avoid the most beautiful month (july), should probably able to secure something nice for for hire. You should be able to seal a deal renting one of these places from april 1st to just before midsummer eve, an from like august 1st to october 1st. :)
