27647. judithathome - 9/16/2013 5:32:10 PM Neither did that test. 27648. thoughtful - 9/27/2013 2:12:47 PM We made front page news of our local paper...they are trying to raise interest in a program to get people to add solar panels to their homes and did a nice write up with a big pic of our house as an example. Our 15 seconds of fame..... 27649. judithathome - 9/27/2013 5:10:25 PM Yay! How are you liking the solar? 27650. thoughtful - 9/27/2013 8:34:25 PM The solar plus all the other green things we did is working great...we fundamentally only pay for electricity 3-4 months a year. Our total energy cost in our house (lighting, heat, cooling, hot water, everything) is less than our cable bill. 27652. arkymalarky - 9/28/2013 1:43:12 AM How neat! Congrats! 27653. Trillium - 9/28/2013 7:59:44 PM Thoughtful, our household tries to be frugal, but your deal sounds even better. Can you give any details about your system and how/where you purchased and set it up? 27654. thoughtful - 9/29/2013 2:07:20 PM Trillium, we went very green when we built. We did geothermal heating and cooling with a desuperheater to preheat our hot water, 5 kw of solar panels, solar tempered house design, closed cell spray foam insulation, all duct work in conditioned space, casement windows, wood stove, and tankless hot water heaters. Further, we built into a southern facing slope so the basement level is finished living space and open to the south side. We don't heat or cool the lower level which maintains a temp of between 63 and 78 all year round. So the entire package got us to our result. We estimate that the solar panels provide 54% of our electricity usage which is the primary energy used in the house as the geothermal system runs on electric pumps. We don't use oil at all. We use LP gas (no nat gas available) to run our hot water heaters, our gas fireplace and our 20 kw generator. 27655. robertjayb - 9/30/2013 4:19:35 AM Okay, Moties: What say you?
"The Wire" or "Breaking Bad"? 27656. judithathome - 9/30/2013 6:18:19 AM No question: The Wire. 27657. arkymalarky - 9/30/2013 1:22:32 PM I'm not watching either, but all the Arkhies around here, including my dad, are into Breaking Bad 27658. Trillium - 10/4/2013 9:07:38 PM Interesting, Thoughtful! Thanks. 27659. judithathome - 10/6/2013 12:51:36 AM Hate to come here with such a mundane subject but I am SOOOO looking forward to a movie running on TV tonight: it's Gena Gershon playing Donatella, the sister of the late Gianni in House of Versace...it's on Lifetime and should be so very bad that it's good...ya know? 27660. arkymalarky - 10/6/2013 1:14:20 AM hey it's the cafe. You're supposed to post stuff like that here! 27661. arkymalarky - 10/6/2013 1:17:23 AM I just hate I missed Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor 27662. judithathome - 10/6/2013 5:21:37 PM God, it was as bad as I thought it would be!
Nearly feel off the couch whe I saw Raquel Welch playing her aunt...first I thought she was dead and upon seeing her, figured out she was just embalmed. 27663. thoughtful - 10/8/2013 1:26:51 PM Nah...Raquel looks great...if you don't mind the fact that only about 4 muscles on her face move at all... 27664. judithathome - 10/8/2013 6:26:55 PM Well, that's what I meant.
That and the fact her teeth look like someone else's.
She did a good job, though.
I guess I just admire actresses who choose to go "nature's way" in aging...of course, we don't see much of them because of that but still....
