Our family has decided that remodeling out basement will be out summer project. We can’t afford a new home and we have 600 sq feet that right now looks like a dungeon. We are starting with new basement windows, followed by fresh paint and new basement flooring. Essentially for a whole lot less money that we would spend on a room addition or buying a new home we have more room for our 3 kids and ourselves. The biggest problem is trying to figure out exactly how to use room. Should it be a Home Theater or like the kids want a game room? I’m all for a simple family room with a wet bar
We live in a modest two-bedroom apartment. It is around 1500 ft. we are located in Florida. Our electric bill for July was $476 and change. Let me repeat that $476! Obviously we called our landlord and complained that something was wrong with the air conditioner. Of course they could find nothing wrong, except to say and suggest, that we set our thermostat higher. Utility companies in most communities are legal monopolies. They charge whatever they want, they asked for rate increases whenever they want, and generally receive them. I do not care where you live, how hot it is where you live, it is stupid to have to pay that much money for electricity. As I write this article I am sitting in my own sweat with my thermostat set at 80°. The humidity today outside is around 85%. I just cannot afford to be comfortable and that aggravates me. I read all over the Internet about how to lower your electric bill. Most of these advertisements include you spending money for their product.I am normally against government involvement in anything that has to do with private business. However something needs to be done with utility companies.
