Bret,
What many people have missed is I have a FIXED,
NOT AVERAGED, ELECTRIC BILL, $142.99 for 12
months. In the summer I may only use 600 kw-hrs,
cost is the same $142.99. The cost per KW-hr is
close to $.16. In the summer I'm lucky to go over
1000 kw-hr during the warmest month running the
AC.

Some don't understand that my electric rates are
cheaper than gas because the more electricity I
use the cheaper it gets per Kw-Hr. That is crazy.
What is even more crazy is even if I got the best
gas furnace, I would then pay more for
electricity and gas combined.

14 years ago, it cost me less than $1000 for
wire, thermostats, circuit breakers and baseboard
heaters to make my house total electric. Already
had electric range, dryer. I did have to buy a
electric water heater.

I use the gas furnace blower for the central air.
The old gas water heater is next to it. The gas
company still has the meter connected, but locked
up. I will never go back to gas. Electric
baseboard heat is simple, absolutely no repairs
unlike all other heating sources that have a
short life expendency, like heat pumps. I have a
property that was built in the 60 that is total
electric. Only replaced 1 $15 thermostat in 55
years.

It took me 5 years to build a new house around an
old house, doubling the size. Back then there was
a property tax advantage to doing that.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
