LOL...our up stairs was also NOT heated. Like you...We'd also have so many heavy home made quilts on us it was hard to roll over...lmao. Take a glass of water to bed and break the ice in early am to get a drink !! NO GUFF !!
Mom and dads bedroom down stairs had a large oil space heater in it...big as a furnace. This was directly under our inside bedroom....there was a big cast iron grate in the floor beams right above it. On the real cold frigid nights...that oil heater sprung to life, the hatch up stairs was lifted and we had some semblance of heat coming up thru the grate it was very comforting thru those nights and cold days.
