[vcf-midatlantic] VCF Repair workshops and keeping the costs of HVAC down

[Jonathan Chapman]

I'd shut the heat off and left the doors open during VCF East, not sure if it was turned back on at some point during the event. Figured with the nice weather, there was no sense in burning gas! Is that acceptable for when the weather is nice?

Thanks,
Jonathan
