   Boy, wish I could afford even a small panel but they're too pricey   
   here.  So will make do with low-tech cheap alternatives.  Better than   
   nothing.

   As you can see some of us who own our houses and can build what we think up   
   haven't found any magic solutions. Another simple one I forgot to mention is   
   using a sweat suit and socks as pajamas so the bed doesn't feel so cold when   
   you first get in. Hospital socks with rubber treads can double as slippers.   
      
   Personally if I have warm comfortable clothes and boots and enough to eat I   
   don't mind primitive conditions, living in an Army tent on a frozen mountain   
   top or in the rural South without electricity or running water. Some friends   
   of Native American lineage lived that way here in cold New Hampshire, and I   
   learned from them. Hint: leave enough water in the stove kettle at night to   
   thaw the pump in the morning.
