We use electricity for cooking (range & I are still learning ~ it's up to 200 F now!) computer, lights, washing machine, fridge, broody lamps (incubators are off now) & radio. The range should do the heating, hot water & cooking & it's solid fuel, but the cenral heating does have a pump. We have baths rather than showers as the water comes from the mountain & flows down & away if not used. The house is a trad cottage with small windows, so we need the light more than modern houses. We have no TV, no dishwasher, no dryer, no working electric heaters, but we do have dehumidifiers as the house is damp & occasionally has a river through the kitchen! Not tried reading our new legal meter yet ~ no bills, as, although the ESB could find us for repairs & to install a safe meter, they can't find any record of the property! The wires, old meter & everything was there whjen we moved in, but we don't exist! I have to find a high detailed farm map of the proprty to send them.Killihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-58551050484087848262007-08-30T05:23:00.000+10:002007-08-30T05:23:00.000+10:00Thank you for the link about window quilts...

I am really happy with this and it is less than I thought it would be but I didn't use the washing machine yesterday so it will be interesting to see how much more it is tomorrow.<BR/>One other thing I have been doing to save power is leaving my car out of the garage until I have positively finished using it. You see I have automatic garage doors so when I take the car out instead of putting it back in the garage when I get home I leave it in the driveway in case I need to go out again. This way I only open my door twice a day instead of multiple times.<BR/>I have also stopped using my ensuite as it is a looong way from my HWS. Initially I did this to save water but I now realise it also saves power. Double bonus ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907021712935423492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-46035063216357836702007-08-29T09:30:00.000+10:002007-08-29T09:30:00.000+10:00Great lists Rhonda, will reading it properly tonig...Great lists Rhonda, will reading it properly tonight after work<BR/>Have a great dayRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122159540738638228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22983622294946789902007-08-29T08:55:00.000+10:002007-08-29T08:55:00.000+10:00Great list Rhonda and I can happily say most of th...Great list Rhonda and I can happily say most of these things already happen in my house.
