For the last two months we have been working on the house.
First, we got Solar Panels from Solar City. Those took about 5 months from the initial consultation, to installment, to actually turning them on! Our electric bill which can vary from $150 a month to $300 a month was…. negative $11 this month. WOOT! They are going to be paying US, baby! Along with our plugin Prius that we got a few months ago, we are saving money! Well, at some point we will be saving money… after we recoup what we have spent for solar panels! ha!
Along with that, the husband couldn’t stand our constantly dying grass. So we tore everything out and are in the process of making one of those desert-like landscaping things thing that don’t need water on a constant basis. So we hired some feng shui plant guy who specializes in this stuff, and he came up with some plans, asked us what types of plants and flowers we want to see, and we are in the process of putting it all in now.
The big hole in the middle will be our “rock” stream. Sounds pretty cool! I basically put my fingers in my ears and said “la la la” whenever the husband talked about it so I’m not exactly sure what it will look like….
However, I have been assured it will look beautiful and more birds and wildlife will be visiting our yard when we are done.
Can’t wait!
