Some summer residents believe that it is necessary to come to the dacha in winter because of the importance of heating the premises.

But if you think about it from a practical point of view, such trips waste quite a lot of resources.

Firstly, it takes almost the whole day, or even the whole weekend, to heat the fire.

Secondly, heating consumes quite a lot of firewood, which is relatively expensive.

This is the main reason for heating a country house in winter. But such conditions can only be maintained if you live there year-round.

In this case, the house will be less susceptible to the spread of dampness.
