Re: Solid surface countertops

Thanks, is Sunco a local company or online? We live in Calif and if I could order them online that would be great, I will look for a webpage. I don't believe in buying "name brand" just for the sake of the name :roll: when I can get something comparable (and a sometimes better) for less mo...

Re: electric bill

Our elect usage was in the neighborhood of 1600 kw, this time it was around 500. Since we only used elect from the first tier level we only paid the lowest rate per kw instead of the higher rates in the 5th and 6th tiers. With the Sun Run lease bill, we are paying about 24 cents kw all together. And...

electric bill

Our first electric bill came in, it had one week of power from the electric compay and 3 weeks on the new solar system.
Last month our bill was $450.00, this time it was $70. :D
A big savings, I am looking forward to next month when we will have a full month of solar on it.

We have an average house, 2000 sq ft, but also have a occupied guest house, and we pump our water from about 500 ft down, then pump it from the water tank into the house. I think we must have a drain somewhere, but don't know for sure. The power lines are run underground and run through PVC. We are ...

We got the bill today, went from 67 kw last year to 60 this year. (If our solar system was in we would have had a $...

RE: Faux Granite Countertops

Is that what I have seen called"granite transformations" or the laminate that looks like granite? I think it looks good too. How expensive was it?
