At this stage the other complicating factor is where costs will go. Gas doubled over the last year... The improvement in air quality when California started getting tough on emissions is no joke. Sure, it can be political, but there's plenty to go around which isn't.

but cali's climate is specific to the way the wind currents roll back off the mountain range.
they're literally stuck in a swirl of their own repeated filth.

My house is a typical 7-year-old suburban 3 bed, 2 bath ranch with gas fired furnace, water heater, stove and clothes dryer. I'm sure that number would increase with additional occupants in the house due to more cooking, laundry and showering. In the winter my usage peaks at about 120 therms per month. |

my bill just constantly reminds me i'm not the most efficient neighbor in my area. i think the most efficient neighbor is an abandoned house with a single light bulb left on.

We had a new roof put on a few years ago and had insulation blown into the attic. I highly recommend this. Our electric bill immediately dropped 35%. Overall our electric bill has dropped over 60% annually since we moved in 20 years ago. With rising costs of everything this says a lot. If I could convince my wife to switch over to instant hot for heating water we could save even more.

Lowest gas bill this summer was $75 - highest over the winter was $350. Lowest electric bill I saw all year was $120; highest was $140, and that was the $350 gas bill month.

I'm beginning to think the money I spent for upgraded windows and insulation when I had my house built was money well spent. This past week we've had below normal temperatures, including frost a couple of mornings. I haven't had to turn the heat on yet- it stays between 67F and 72F as long as I keep the blinds open on all of the south facing windows during the day to get some solar heat gain.

Can someone explain this ebay auction? Is this a solicitation to contact them outside ebay and inquire about parts?

This house is a good deal larger than our last, and our utility bills didn't change much here at all... so this place isn't bad. But... I'd love to build a place, but that dream seems unlikely at this point.

but being that he's breaking it for parts, it means to contact him for anything else one might need. i do that all the time with junkyards on ebay. "hey, i see you have a 14 brz side mirror for sale, do you also have ____ from the same car?"
