Thanksgiving came a day early at chez RC, delivered by the mail lady.
My gas bill - the first since all of my weatherproofing efforts - came. I kid you not, my hands were shaking when I opened it.
Last year, the bill for the first month of heat - a month we were never warm - was right around $400.
This year, the bill for the first month of heat - cold outside, but oh so toasty inside - was...
$104.51.
I have a whole new appreciation for saran wrap.

Woo hoo, RC, good for you, that's going to make a difference this winter! Congratulations!
awesome!
perfect. love that. think it's sign of growing older though? kind of thing that would thrill me and make my kids call me ''sad''. happy happy thanksgiving.
So I guess this means you are keeping the house. Yea!
I have got to fetch me some saran wrap now too.
Lucky you!
Ours seems to be going up and up!
Not sure what saran wrap is.......
w00t! glad that's all sorted...everything else will just fall into place now, right? :)
Saran Wrap is cling film, Maggie May.
That's great RC. I think maybe the next step is to purchase a giant roll of the stuff, lie your boys down on the floor, and bind them up in it. Roll them round and round several times. Then do yourself. Then you wouldn't have to have the heating on at all.
Congratulations on the low bill...I'm waiting my snuggie to arrive in the mail...this place has high ceilings and electric heat.
Awesome!
Yay - that is a huge difference.
Good news
Excellent!

SWEET!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! This is AWESOME news!!!!
