Insullation, 5th electricity refund and general update

Monday 24 June 2013
Well well well, here's a little update on what has been going on recently.

First up - we got another 2 rooms painted.  The entry and the front TV room.  We bought some different looking curtains for the front room (see pic below).  We think it will give the room a little colour.  Still need to borrow the sewing machine off mum and hem them so they aren't hung yet.


We are still painting the back rooms that got new walls - the bathroom, toilet and laundry.  Mind you we were away on holidays for 2 weeks this month so we are just back and ready to tackle things.

Got our 5th electricity bill and the refund from the solar is a little disappointing this time.  Only got $195.36 back compared to over $350 refund for all the previous bills.  I'm still trying to work out what is going on there.  We also just got a notice that the rates are going up GREAT!

We are going to have a little edition to the family......we are getting a puppy.  He will be with us in 4 weeks.  Time to puppy proof the house and fences in our yard.

Oh yeah, and we also got insullation put in our roof yesterday.  It does actually make a difference.  It cost us about $1300 but I think it is worth every cent so far.  We didn't need to put the oil heater on last night so maybe that will help us saving on our electricity bills.

Will update next when I have completed photos of something.  Busy busy!!
