wow, I did not know about this thanks so much.
does your power utility have an app that would let you monitor your total household power consumption? my buddy in QC does and that's how he monitors something new when its been added to the house.well, I would love to know how you monitor your power usage ( don't know if you have a solar setup/whole house battery ) I assumed you're on city power.
One upgrade I am so glad we did the month after we bought our home was central air, our house is 1700+ sq feet and our Trane 2-ton unit cools the house down nicely, mind you we tend to keep it much higher than 17c because of the high humidity we have to deal with in Muskoka ( its a swamp ) dew point normally for us is in the 18-22c range so I have our AC set to keep the whole house at 24c all summer long and it only adds about 30-40 a top of our monthly hydro bill. we have good insulation I think r80+ in the attic and R25 in the walls.
They also make panels/breakers that have this kind of tracking built in which then tells you how much each circuit is using.wow, I did not know about this thanks so much.
I think there are videos out there showing just how fast drywall can go up now. heck...I think there might even be contests now too!So my drywall guy showed up this morning for the repair in my basement. He's coming back tomorrow, Friday and then Monday to do the final polish. I thought this was going to be a 2 - 3 week process. I'll be painting next Tuesday night, might have my man-cave back by Labour Day!

makes me wonder if the quality of the work / product is still as good as when it took longer though...
Drywall is drywall..... Framing might be a bit different these days now that they've got those modular metal studs, but I don't think drywall has changed. One of the big things is how skilled the worker is at mudding after the fact.
