My lavatory is always freezing chilly in the summer.
I do not care how hot it is outside, it’s always unpleasant to get out of the shower plus step on a freezing chilly floor plus be hit by a blast of freezing chilly air. In the winter, it’s the opposite. With the oil furnace on, it gets so tepid in the lavatory that it’s almost love a sauna. It’s really uncomfortable. In fact, it’s so tepid that it’s almost hard to breathe. I have tried closing the vents in the lavatory but it doesn’t seem to make much difference. The heated or cooled air gets through anyway. I’ve asked my handyman uncle plus she said that this is because my lavatory is the first stop on the Heating plus Air Conditioning air duct tree. Apparently the heated or cooled air comes from my Heating plus Air Conditioning system, then to the lavatory, then branches out to the rest of the house. This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Why should the lavatory be the first stop that the air duct makes? The lavatory is the smallest room in the home so it does not need extra air. My uncle said there was simply nothing I could do about it, short of paying someone to reroute my entire air duct system. I believed him for a few years. I did not want to pay all that currency so I just left it alone. But then my girlfriend came up with a better idea. She commanded that the two of us just tape a piece of cardboard over the vent. She said that should keep most of the air out. I tried it plus it seems to be working pretty good. At first, the tape fell off but now we are using packing tape plus it seems to be holding pretty well. Now the lavatory is a lot more comfortable.
