What kind of excuse for a first world country doesn't have central heating? I bet you don't have block heaters either.

I live in a 100+ year old farm house. Not even insulated with horse hair or anything. It's cheap and we're poor. During the summer, it's not that bad. We have an upstairs, though, that doesn't even have electricity and there is no way we can get electricity up there. It was a family home and we got inherited it. Gotta take what you can get.
