    Just did the Energy Audit and it said I could save 29% more by updating some things. Savings of around $1400 every three years.

    I removed my front lawn and put in a water feature... birds and frogs love it.  I removed my rear lawn and put in a 36'x26' concrete patio with fire pit, a 16'x32' deck in, and a hoop to play ball with the kids. Lots of outdoor activity to come!
