c'mon, spill the beans on your secrets to such a low-cost home!
No real secrets to report, I'm afraid. It's a 1400 sq. ft. split level fake adobe with decent insulation, no A/C, gas furnace driving dual zone radiant floor heating and assisting the hot water tank, gas stove and dryer, electric everything else. Yes, I have a freezer, and a fridge too. I have compact fluorescents on the outside, mostly halogens indoor. Double glazed. Nothing special.

Sorry, I can't fix your house for you!

LOL! Well, good for you! Sounds pretty nice to me, and incredibly efficient.

Yesterday we were sweltering in 97 degrees, today a high of 67 and now it's a chilly 55.

Well M, all I can say is, it better be cool for our next coffee, as humidity screws with my hair )))

But, have to mention, it was perfectly cool/chilly when I was at thee's homestead, and I LURV it cool, must be an age thing

Sad sad sad

PD
