I got some thing from the power company today that says I am using one eighth of the power of energy efficient homes in my houses size range built in the same time frame. Funny that when I had my grow going they sent me one that said I was using 25 times the normal house usage.

Last month when we were hitting the mid nineties my electric usage was still only $111. I guess those people who said I was over insulating my house were wrong. Seems to be paying off quite nicely now.

When My grow was in my basement I couldnt get the heat out of the house. I had a 8 inch fan blowing cold air into my hose that never shut off in the winter till it was -20 out. Many a time when it was 30 degrees out I had my front door open to cool off my house. Cheaper to open the door than run a AC in the winter.

I use to have a picture of that fan covered in 2 inches of ice.

:tumbleweed: yup,i know a thing or two about too much damn heat...been a nice break from hellishly hot all the time...been cool enough at night for sleeping,and not so bad on the ride home from work...some of those days when it was over 105 made for tough rides,no matter how short....yesterday i didn't even drink all the water i bought to work...

off to run errands,then back to feed the plants and get the next 9 prepped for flower...

:watchplant: it's alive!

all the equipment installed in the 3x3 and the bar lights programmed,the sp150's on a timer,fans running,they sure are quiet...need to get a thermometer/hygrometer in there...and i think i accidentally used a #7 pot since it only took one bag of build a soil to fill...put one of hammer's destiny in,watered the 3.0 with a mix of quallija,rootwise,and BB with some trinity...getting run off so i can be fairly sure it's wet all the way through...

:rtfo: hell yeah! boss gave me a 100 dollar bonus! wasn't expecting that,normally we have to hit 5k net sales for that,but that's with 2 people working the store,so i guess yesterday's 4700 gross by myself was good enough...also the parking lot,the very dusty parking lot just got a truckload of crusher fines so there's been extra work keeping it raked smooth and watered down to keep it packed down and firm enough for the forklift which i've pretty much been doing myself...including yesterday twice and doing all the usual sidework to keep the store clean and the shelves stocked...all on a busy day...

of course i'll probably end up spending most of it in the shop,so a circular bonus in a way...
