The Mill is an old and large building. It has water going through it as well.
This means it cannot feel the same as a perfectly isolated flat in the city. Running around barefoot and in a T-shirt is not recommended.
Our biomass heating system is intricate, but it works. However, it can sometimes surprise people that the radiators are not toasty. It does not mean it's not working; the biomass boiler has its own agenda to keep us warm while saving the planet.
Here is our little help checklist in case you are struggling with the cold a bit:
Help, I am cold.
Step 1. The basics
put on an extra warm jumper (we are happy to lend you one)
put on socks 🧦(we are happy to lend you a pair)
wear slippers (we provided a pair)
Ensure windows and doors are correctly closed (ask for help if you feel a draft).
Step 2. Next level
grab a fleece blanket - we have many extra blankets in the Zello room.
use a hot water bottle - you should have gotten one in your welcome pack.
move around a bit - Sometimes we sit for too long - that s not good for your health either. Have a good stretch, get the blood flowing!
Step 3. Going the extra mile
make a fire and sit by it
draw yourself a hot bath 🛁
Go in the sauna
I have done most of that, but I am still cold. Then something is wrong. Let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix it asap.
