  I opened this message while eating, put my legs in the chair, and it started rolling back and only stopped after crashing into the couch behind me.

  Currently writing this from my bedroom where it’s 2° below what it is outside! Low quality uninsulated house gang REPRESENT!

      My windows don’t do that anymore, but I used to live in a house in the country that had a hole in the floor from where a large air con pipe (like on those portable ones) had been pushed through the floorboards, and 4cm gaps under all the doors. Being a 6 year old in a house that whistled was fucking terrifying, especially when my mum had the bright idea to go and tell me ghost stories

        Baku :( I really hope you will be in a better situation asap, seems you’ve been having really bad luck with everything.

        I have a big hole in my floor from an old ducted heating pipe, but I have shoved a doormat and set of drawers on top of it so it does not whistle. I probably get a bit of air leak through all the old vents though. The worst wind incursions are through the laundry, which has a big gap under the door and around the pipe under the sink. Every time there is a big gust of wind the metal sink cupboard door rattles loudly. It used to have a dodgy sliding door to the room that would rattle too, but that broke a few years ago and I’ve replaced it with an insulated curtain that works well to keep the cold/hot out and definitely does not rattle.

        I do have a completely blocked off chimney, but unless the possums who live in there start a fire there should not be a fire risk.

        My biggest stress with this sort of weather is water leaks and the fear of a sheet of iron coming off the roof, as I’ve had issues with both of those things in the past. Every time I hear something rattle or drip I’m trying to work out if I have water coming inside - the idea of rain on the roof being a soothing sound is something I have not had in a long time. Maybe one day I will live in a house with a trustworthy roof and be able to experience that again.
