No work day - & 4th electricity bill refund

Tuesday 12 March 2013
Well now, today there is no work happening on our place.  The tiler wrote us down in his diary on the wrong day (Thursday instead of Wednesday).  According to him, he will still have the job complete on Friday anyway so no big deal really.  Our builder is actually not feeling well today so he wasn't able to make it up to Brisbane - I've told him that the tiler will be there tomorrow so it's probably not that great if he comes tomorrow either.  Hope he feels better soon.

The plasterer was there this morning to finish off sanding for the tiler.  I guess we need to go home and start the painting tonight - fun fun fun!!  We need to have the cupboards installed in the bathroom and the laundry this weekend so our plumber can come back Monday to finish everything off for us.  It's so exciting!

On an upside, we got our 4th electricity refund.  $369.17 this quarter compared to $388.07.  It's $18.90 less than last time but at least it is still over $350 & that is a good thing.  It sucks having to call AGL each time to get the refund and then I also need to check that the refund makes it into our account because the last few times it hadn't and I forgot about it and then another month had gone on and we finally got our money.

It's weird - our usage is actually lower this month (683kWh) compared to last month (726kWh) but we got less of a refund this month.  I wonder if our solar panels didn't produce as much electricity as last month?  Yep - 1025kWh this month compared to 1074kWh last month.  So, that is where our difference is because our rate with AGL is $0.52 per kWh we give them.  So the difference is 49kWh or $25.48.  With GST and all the other charges etc etc it probably works out to $18.90 difference.  Not worth calling them and arguing about that's for sure.

Bye for now & till next time something is done on our house.
