Eh gad, home heating oil prices...
« on: November 01, 2007, 11:03:52 AM »
Well the tank is down to 1/4 and I've been shopping around.

Lowest is $2.92 a gallon, most are $3.06.  

Yikes.

Meanwhile I've got a girlfriend who leaves the bathroom window open after her shower and forgets about it.  So in comes the 40 degree air and my furnace runs needlessly.  Grrrr....:furious

Practice makes perfect. By the time they're old enough to be girlfriends, they've got it down nearly to perfection.  :p  Give it a few more years and you won't even be able to recognize that's what's happening.

Acually, the 40 degree air doesn't come in... the heated air goes out.

I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Well I bought new windows for the house this year.  Did half the house last year, then the rest this year.  Also did a new roof last year.  If I could afford it, I'd replace the 40 year old furnace...but that darn money tree isnt growing for me  :)

So convert to gas! There's plenty available in Iran, so after the US invades, we'll have as much as we like and it will be cheap! :D

I have to get some more propane now. That last 10 gallons just didn't last very long since I filled it last March. :(

You're in Maine, no wood, pellet or corn stove? I'm down in Saugus, ma. and I was thinking pellet. I hear ya, got a 1/4 tank myself and haven't fired it up yet, I can't afford $600.00 for 200 gallons of heating oil.

I should have had the pellet stove put in during the summer, I saw all kinds of deals, now the price is higher but still may be worth it.
