Well we are continuing the great experiment despite some problems that we have had with matches and lighting of candles. Our biggest use of matches is going to the bathroom, with each of us going at random times. To address this issue we are leaving the nightlights on to bathroom... unfortunately that means that they run non stop for 24 hours. I think of this as a stop gap measure till with think of something else. Besides a candle lit shower is rather nice and I will probably continue the practice.
The next item of interest is the proposed Sunday of air conditioning and free computer use has passed. Perhaps TV will also be introduced but I doubt it. The girls will have one day free of the library which is usually closed on Sundays.
In case you are wondering what the girls do... they are watching Disney channel and during the commercials reading J-14 magazine though dd8 likes the commercials. I figure they are out of the heat for an hour or two and occupied. The parental units usually are doing Face book or job search not necessarily in that order.
Hole digging today was how the moring was spent. The girls are great help troweling out the dirt and packing away the construction stuff in the crawl space...where it is very cool. Dd8 is great at cleaning leafy green food from our garden, she is enjoying the independance of the search and preperation of the food for salads and sandwiches.
How are you measuring your progress, electrical consumption wise? Have been monitoring your meter, or are you waiting to see the utility bill?
