My daughter-in-law (Duane's widow) just bought a smaller house (~2400

yearly electricity cost at less than $1200 or they'll pay the
difference!

Hi Jim,
Just bought us a new house, with one of those 'energy guarantees' on it.
Not worth the paper its printed on, since to be able to collect, you
have to have done enough draconian paperwork that the extra electricity
would be a lot cheaper...

This home is by Pulte, who have a pretty good reputation here. But
I'll ask the daughter-in-law to see the paperwork.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
