The one about four day work weeks was really interesting. That may mean 4, 10 hour days, but still... job turnover down 44%?! Sick leave down 50%? And over a quarter-million dollars less spent on energy in one three-month period?
Wow. I know that the clerestory windows in the living room have been back-burnered for years while we put in more efficient windows elsewhere. But W actually suggested I check out the prices at Andersen Windows, since they have a special on windows they install.
I had suggested UV film, but this might be even better. The living room is the one place where we want more insulation and can't get it -- the distance between room and roof is only a couple of feet, and it's sealed from either side of the house. We can a) rip the roof off/wait until shingles need replacing, and do it then. b)We can space bubble the ceiling and put another ceiling below that. Or C -- move the thermostat for the bedrooms, which is also in the open hallway by the living room.
I hate this constant nickel and dime-ing. W even got a new bike pump. To work is not a problem -- heading home, when it's 98 F and the humidity is also in the nineties? Brutal.
