MAINEiacMISTRESS -> RE: August Roll Call!!! (8/1/2017 8:42:22 AM)

I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I hope you find a solution that works.
My own electric bill was $181 last month (yikes, it's usually around $80), but I've been running the air conditioner this summer, plus heat lamps for the tiny chicks and ducklings, the 150 watt security lights for the poultry barn, and of course there is the filter for the in-ground swimming pool. The tv is only on nights, since the list of Projects is still pretty long and gets us outside whenever free time is available. The days have been hot (80's in Maine are considered hot, and some days have been in the "kill-ah" 90's), but there is always the pool to cool. A quick dunk and you are refreshed and ready to go back.
Got the major fence Project DONE (we celebrated), my flower gardens are in good shape this year (actually one of them is now PERFECT after suffering weeds and disorder for several years), laying concrete slabs this week, building a chicken coop, next week the old deck comes down and a new one goes up. That's the PLAN at least (and we all know how THOSE go). I'm hoping to get the house and barn repainted before cold weather, but we'll see.
