Dealing with the high cost of home energy.

Written by: toorockmysoul, on 3/6/2010

Recently we took advantage of a program through our state, to essentially have an energy audit done on our home. After a short wait on a list, we finally came up for our audit.

Last week we looked at a new build on our way home from another day of house hunting with our realtor. She happened to mention a new KB Homes Community and it was on our way home so we stopped in. I love looking at model homes even when I'm not in the market. We really... Read More

Put Your Home On An Energy Diet

Posted by: ChrisS, on 1/5/2010

I'd like to share a great article from the Rismeida site (see link below for more info) about putting your home on an energy diet.

We’ve all been there on making well-intentioned New Year’s resolutions, among them promising faithfully to go on a diet, exercise and eat healthier. And sometimes, we may even keep those resolutions for a little while before falling off the wagon.

As part of the yearly New Year’s resolution-making ritual, the Alliance to Save Energy encourages consumers to check out their home’s physical fitness and, depending on its overall state of health, put it on an ‘energy diet.’

How is your Home’s ‘Physical Fitness?’

The “physical fitness” of your home can make the difference between soaring energy bills or comfortable savings... Read More

Real Tree or Fake Tree

Posted by: kjb2052, on 12/31/200

For those of you celebrating Christmas (or Druidism) this holiday season, I wonder if you go real tree or fake tree. And whose choice is it? Yours? Your spouse? Mom or dad's?

Oh, and we go real tree. My choice. ;)... Read More
