I air dry everything either indoors or out. My family is much smaller than yours though! Some summers I have done without air conditioning completely. This year I set it at the mark right before 70 and didn't touch it. Our power bill never even made it to $200 this summer. Our 1600 square foot home is much smaller than your house. Now that it is fall we can open windows to cool off and use sweatshirts to warm up. :)I can't wait to hear some more ideas!<br /><br />:)VickiVickihttp://www.oneandahalfacrehomestead.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612121011899927749.post-27872057133213682492012-10-02T14:40:49.881-04:002012-10-02T14:40:49.881-04:00Susan, a couple of years ago I read that the compu...Susan, a couple of years ago I read that the computer wastes a lot of power. I have the computer, monitor and printer all plugged into the same power surge protector which I unplug every night before I go to bed and again in the morning before I leave for work. It cut about $10. per month off my power bill.Elsienoreply@blogger.com
