So I need to turn green to survive.<br />Having a monthly food budget that is smaller than what my weekly food budget used to be really opened my eyes as to how wasteful I used to be.<br />My ultimate goal is to drop my electric bill down from the $150 - $200 a month it used to be, to about $60.<br />Last month I was down to $80 so I believe I've set a reasonable goal.Darrell B.

I say it that way because I don't recycle and I use a lot of paper towel. I guess I'm a little lazy but respect anyone who actually puts forth efforts that will make this world last longer. I'm impressed, keep up the good work.3Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414793921515206903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712960482559839387.post-86542924444651380712009-05-29T04:49:33.433-07:002009-05-29T04:49:33.433-07:00I'm pretty sure they would be, unfortunately the p...I'm pretty sure they would be, unfortunately the previous owners of my house drywalled over the enterance to the attic.<br />I've been meaning to open it up to add insulation but have always been sidetracked with other projects.Darrell B.

I think if you take your bottles of water and just leave them in the attic. Then when you need hot water on cloudy days it should be pretty hot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
