I'm guessing the similar homes don't have a giant garage with 10,000 watts of lighting.

They used to have me down for an 1100 sq foot house, which is what I have with a 700 sq foot basement. I changed it to almost 2000 sq foot with the power company to try to make up for the garage with a couple lights.

I wonder if my bill is less than your bill. My whole house is electric.

So whoever did that didn't want to shell out the $.49 for a blank plate?
I couldn't either, I found it interesting though. Apparently if the White House makes a formal request for air time then it is almost always granted. They inquired informally first and the networks were "meh" about it, so they never made a formal request.
Also how are you burning 3000 kWh a month!? I lived in a place like that for a while, it sucks when the utility bills are almost as much as rent.

Yea, you need a ground, but if it is a plastic slide you can not ground it.
You could bond the kids to the slide, with a static wire.
I do not see a solution here.
Get rid of the plastic slide and use wood?

Re: Re: Important
The floor is painted masonite. ..i thought about this, but cant see an easy way to do it
the only other thought I have it to make a point to have the actors ground themselves on a metal railing when they exit the slide.
or perhaps a metal plate for them to land on, assuming their shoes are conductive.
maybe tape a fine wire to their leg and let it trail out a pant leg, bonding themselves to the slide and grounding when they hit the ground. use it for just that scene, I assume scene change after slide.

I'm not entirely sure.
Except we have four fridges, a full size old school freezer, two furnaces, three mercury lights outside, 140 4 ft florescent light bulbs in the garages, and the house is occupied pretty much all the time.
The electric bill is $150-$170 a month.
It will be more this month with the bathroom remodel.

In the summer im running the pool and the air conditioner. electric bill is pretty high then around October it drops significantly. kinda cool cuz i get used to spending that for 4+months then all the sudden its less than half the price. makes the check book feel good.

My bill goes oppisite, we use little to no electricty in the summer, partly because we do a lot of traveling. Winter however is another matter entirely. Entirely electric house, 2100 sq ft house, 2x4 construction, little insulation, vaulted ceilings and electric base-boards, plugging the 7.3 in for 2hrs each morning saw us paying $770/mo last winter... With payment plan I've paid $370/mo this entire year.
Just spent $1200 installing ductwork and another $900 on a single stage furnace. Now we just get to wait for WE energies to finally put our gas line in, supposedly in the next week or so...

yea my attic is also over insulated. if i cook a meatloaf the whole house will sit at 80*forever.
problem area in my house is the windows. everyone of them is either cracked or missing and replaced with a storm window. if you walk by them you can feel the cold pretty quickly. it is high on my to-do list if i can ever get my credits cards down low enough to make some purchases.

My garage is bigger and better insulated than my house. Last night the temperatures got down to 7° here, I got home and the garage was still 45° with no heat running .
During the summer our electric bill is crazy, we run a dehumidifier in the basement nonstop as well as two sump pumps and our pond waterfall. In the winter we just have heat and basic electricity. T always knows when I'm welding though
