Re: HGTV's "Living With Ed" Blog

I enjoy gaining new ideas from Ed. I have spent much time and money to get my whole house insulated. I have the floor, walls, and added another layer in my attic. My a/c is now set at 82 during the day and 81 at night here in the summer. I live in St Petersburg, FL. I now am saving to get solar power o my home and dream of adding a wind generator, but need to see if the city will allow it. Now when it drops down to the lowe 60s my house stays a nice warm 76* now that winter is coming. I use a propane stove I got from Vermont to heat my house. It keeps me toasty day or night. Yes it gets cold in Florida! I'm also replacing my 15 year old windows with new low e glass filled with argon. I never thought I'd be replacing these windows being I installed them back in the 90s, but I love the newer ones for saving energy. I'm also wanting to add one of those misters to the a/c, but need to attach it to rain water instead of the city water. It is hard water and will clog the misters over time.
