That sounds great Phil. I wish I could get away with something like that. The wife wouldn't stand for it though. She is energy concious, but she isn't the most willing to compromise.
The house I talked about in the original post we put an offer in and lost out on. Thankfully, we found a much better house and are currently in process of purchasing it (closing on the 25th). However, I have no idea what my energy useage will be like with that house. The previous owners had eight people in this 1600 sq/ft house and their utility bill yearly average was $280. We will start out with just me and the wife so energy useage will be very low. But, I offered to have my cousin and his wife and three kids stay with us since we'll have three extra bedrooms open. If he accepts there will be 7 of us in this house I'm just hoping to keep the utility bill under $200. It is definitly going to take some work though!
