Hooray We Moved!

Eventually I would like to start posting again even if no one reads this :)

Steps taken so far

1. Repainted all bedrooms with 0 VOC paint
2. Installed blackout curtains in bedrooms
3. Installed a Sense Home Energy Monitor to see where my power is being used.
4. Signed this house up for Ameren Pure Power

Other things on the way!

Over the last two years have been ordering a whole bunch of stuff on kickstarter/indiegogo. Now that we finally have space, I can't wait to start using.

Home Biogas - I backed their kickstarter a while ago but had no place to put it, until now :) We throw away so much food in my house it makes be a little upset, but I think that is the nature of having little kids. That is the main reason why I purchased this. Although it is fall and the temperature is starting to get colder, I think I might assemble now and just start putting waste in there to see what happens. I need to find a good biogas BBQ pit to supplement my propane one.

Solar Gaps - Hopefully I will get these sometime soon. The back of my house faces mostly south and in the summer we get a punishing amount of sun (see blackout curtains). It would be nice to start converting some of that. I have not received yet, but I am looking forward to when I get them.

Mistbox - I received word a couple weeks ago that they were not going to make delivery this year, which is probably fine since the AC doesn't run very much anymore.
