what i have been doing (biggest honey do ever)

i cant wait till its done and we can use it. its costing me some cash to do. using my income tax return to fund most of it. but being able to do the construction and swing the hammer myself helps a lot. i cant imagine how much this would cost if i payed someone to do it.

i had to have a master electrician pull the permit for the electrical, then i helped him with most of it since i have a knowledge of house wiring but no electricians licence. cost me $130 plus materials to wire it. i cant complain.

windows werent cheap tho. these are an industrial grade aluminum window with low E glass, and argon filled panes, and a heat break in the frames so the heat doesnt transfer thru the frame into the house. they were custom made to fit the opening. the windows were pretty pricey but worth it for how they are made.

i have these in the rest of my home. my house is 1700 sq feet, i put these in, a 4 ton 12 SEER A/C unit, and an extra 12" of blow in fiberglass insulation, my electric bill dropped from $350 per month to $150 per month in the summer. now that im married and we have the TV running all the time, and kids leaving the lights on my electric bill is like $200 per month in the summer.

the window company is clearlite windows. these are custom made right in good ole abilene texas.
