That would be ideal. We should check that out -- the bills were awful this year, plus it's just plain drafty in here. Thanks!

I'm comforted by the fact I'm not the only one.

Ask John Kerry for a subsidy. Maybe you can burn old tomato vines for warmth.

Hrmm... I should be getting a bill this week for last month. This is normally my largest bill of the year. I can hardly wait. Shocked

I was talking about the $673 bill I posted about a couple pages back. The new place is 2300 sq feet & 2 floors, this isn't going to be cheap either.

What the hell are you going to do with 2300 sq ft? Do you have a harem? A midget circus?

Do the midgets get "reduced" rent?

@littlek,
Our first gas bill post-roof seems much better. Will keep track and do some serious number crunching after a couple more months.

@littlek,
Oh -- I'd missed that this was an old thread. It was just a link to an article about a 28% increase in natural gas rates in Boston beginning in May. Here 'tis.
