add a 2nd string of lights as one string was having a hard time keeping up in sub zero cold. icon_sad.gif
Remote thermometers are worth their weight in gold this time of year.
Sometimes I'm afraid to look at it...nothing I can do, used up all the light strings.
So far so good I think.
Can you believe, a delivery charge??!!!
Yeah, amazing! They sure think of "novel" charges now.
Regulatory and Debt Retirement aren't much better.
Are you guys in ON on Time of Use for electricity usage?
Apparently it's coming to BC, now that we've all got our smart meters.
The good thing about that is the C-9s are mostly on at night, all night.
Chad, the smaller house is a good idea.
Your costs are certainly bearable since it includes heating your house, and covering the other building too.
We're all electric too, no gas on the street, but I never turn on the elec heaters.
Our "barely heated building" is on a separate hydro meter, haven't got that bill yet...oh oh.
That's where all the other plants are.
We're empty nesters too.
But the house size...aaaargh! Loading the woodstove is a full time job (in the basement of a four-level) so it's gotta stay "cookin" to get the whole place warm.
Sometimes I feel like I'm stoking a steam locomotive.
Yup, bill's paid today.
Fortunately H has no idea how much all those C9s and ceramic heater cost to run.
