Personal Finance
Ive added a slew of personal finance + frugality blogs to my Google Reader and I’m conviced to do a few things tonight.
* I need to get into the attic above the kitchen and see what the insulation is like and really check out the insluation in the other floor of the house.
* Get that plastic gallon milk jug into the three cisterns we have (bricks are bad they can crumble and break down over time…).
* Replace the huge 80gallon electric hot water system with a on-demand hot water system…
OK, So I’m kinda dreaming on the last one but I think it would be totally worth it.
First I need to work out how much the current system costs us and how long it would take to pay off replacing it. Not an easy task.
Then its on-demand electric vs on-demand gas. If we went gas we would have to get a bigger gas tank, but with electric we could just replace the existing tank and screw the new on-demand onto the wall.
I also know there is little to no insulation between the basement and upstairs floors, partly because its a floating ceiling, and partly because of the 10 degree difference in summer and the arctic conditions in the winter
