We have done the Eco-energy retrofit offered by the government. In the process replacing about 1/2 the windows, replacing the older oil furnace with a new energy efficient propane furnace, and making the house more air tight. However, we still need to add more insulation in the basement and attic, and replace one of the toilets. This gift card would help us do that. <br />beverly_wright at omniglobe dot cabwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282208109272603460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251425358325531953.post-1311834983722867472011-05-05T21:17:18.129-04:002011-05-05T21:17:18.129-04:00I am slowly renovating my "century home"...I am slowly renovating my "century home" aka rundown old house.
