...your houses?

I have propane in a 100 year old house. Pre-buy for propane this year was at $2.299. Last year I used 1691 gallons, 300 of that in my shop. So that would be almost $3200 just to heat my house this year, plus $700 for the shop.

Well thanks to mother nature throwing hail stones at my house, we got new siding. Ee decided to side the whole house. I used foil backed fan foam and polar wall vinyl siding, which is foam backed. Plus I wrapped all the windows and facia in Aluminum. Looks great and with the window treatment, I should cut my heating by about 40%. The siding company guarantees 30% or they will pay 1 months heating bill.

I also invested in one of these which should bring my propane usage down to about 300 gallons a year.

Now I gotta buy a bigger chainsaw.
