| Insulation | | I am so happy. For the past three months I have been trying to participate in a cheap roof insulation offer where insulation is offered at £1 (about 75 cents US) a roll. I kept missing the deal by minutes. Today I managed to place an order and I am really amazingly happy and relieved about it. I have 18 rolls ordered now which will save me about 25% of my heating energy costs. Have you managed any good deal recently? | |

| Government blunder!!!!! | | As part of their ‘Green Push’ the Australian Government introduced a scheme where you could get insulation in your roof without costing you one cent. The idea was, the company doing the installation would bill the government direct, instead of the home owner paying and then claiming the rebate. Well this caused a surge in new companies doing roof insulation. There was no control on these individuals, and as a result a lot of shabby work was done, and sub-quality materials used. It has taken several deaths, and many house fires for the government to change the situation. It just goes to show how the government jumped in without proper research being done. The minister has kept his job, and with an election coming this year it could cost the government dearly. Do you think the minister should bear the responsibility for the loss of life and property, after all when things go right the ministers are the first to look for a pat on the back? | |
| | What is the thermostat in your home set at? Whats the best temperature? | | My husband and I fight over this all the time. I turn it up he turns it down! He would like it to be 60-64 in the house (way to cold) I'd like 68-72.I just got up and checked and right now its set at 68 (i won today i guess)What temp do you like? Does money play a role in your decision? | |

| What do you do to weatherize your place? | | We chalk around things and put plastic over windows. My husband said he's going to put plastic on the entire west end of the house because just the windows didn't help enough last year. Since I'm working for Underwood Herbs, I'm getting two draft stoppers for under the doors. What are you doing to help your place stay warm as the season cools down? | |
