IT CAN'T BE SEPTEMBER ALREADY.....CAN IT?

    In my mind, admittedly an odd place to be, we should be IN our new/old house by now, September 1st.  Disappointingly, this is not  the case.  The Certificate of Occupancy  for which I have yearned has not been granted.  This is because the house has not had the final inspections I was expecting to have occurred yesterday.

    HEAVY SIGH...

    On a brighter note:  We received and electric bill for the Hawthorne house yesterday.  We have had the AC up and running for 3 weeks of that 1 month billing period.  In addition, many doors have been left open during painting and contractor work while the HVAC was operating to cool down the house. While our house on Hawthorne Avenue is perhaps twice the size of our Warren Road house (built in 1987), the electric bill for the same 3 week period was 1/2 the amount.

HURRAY for insulation !
