Paid our electric bill.  Since we had to bring the house up to the new code, it required a new central A/C and heater, new ductwork, insulated windows, extra insulation in the attic, etc. our electric bill for June (mostly) to July was under $59.  About half of what it was before the fire.

Wow.  :zombiefuck:

Mine runs around $110-125 a month depending on how hot it is, and I'm betting my house is a lot smaller. :P

We're right around 1000 square feet.


Mine runs $150-170 but we almost never use AC,  we do have electric hot water though and ventilation fans that run all the time.  Connecticut also has some of the highest electric rates in the country

Should have added that we have gas water heater, central heating and stove/oven.   Before the fire the 2 bills averaged between $60 and $75 a month combined.

Main living area upstairs is under 900 square feet, 2 stories though.
Everything here is electric.

They just upped the rates last spring. :P

Just paid our electric bill. Only $85. Gas is usually more as we have gas hot water and gas hot plates and oven.

Electric heat as well? 
We have just under 1500 over two floor plus an unfinished basement.  My oldest son just bought a 2500 square foot house that has two and a half floors plus a partially finished basement just waiting to see how what that one is going to cost.

No, gas central heat, although the fan is electric, so there is minor electricity used in heating the house.

  Pretty much fuck-all so far.  I'm going to have to call myself out some more.  :zoinks:

We had a day off from the holiday, staying at the house, reading. In the evening, we walked around the centre of the little town we're staying in.

Now relaxing with a whisky while posting this.

Worked on two small additions would have been done early if one of them wasn't a forty five minute drive away

Played Settlers of Catan, Mormon edition. Spoiler: It's the same as the regular edition, except with a temple and very specific development cards.

went to both the re store and home despot looking for duct to extend the reach of the air conditioner. home despot had some aluminum stuff for $16 that's far too heavy.

made dinner, rescued a screen, closed windows, and suffered through some student submissions.

Very little. Mostly just hung around on here and looked at old threads.

Had breakfast and dinner. Took meds. Fed the cats.

Swimming in water is better than swimming in wind.
