I just found out our townhouse is <1000sq ft. I've always guessed around 1200, but I was wrong

h: It is most likely to be the higher cost of energy. Our 19" TV is on probably 4 hours a day, computer is on 6-12 hours, and cooking for a family of 3. And our washer and dryer probably goes through 7 loads a week. But it rarely gets cold enough for me to complain :exnbp: We are just going through some kinda of cold spell. The rain is coming back, which most likely means the cold is leaving.
