An old, inefficient refrigerator can cost up to $280 a year to run; a new, efficient refrigerator can save more than $150 each year over a 20-year-old model. While the savings will be less if you are replacing a newer refrigerator, it still will save between $35 and $70 per year. Calculating for a 15-year period for a typical lifespan of a refrigerator, thats $525 to $1,050.

(I need to know what the numbers would be when paying 31 cents per kilowatt-hour) 11/9/2009 Susan Thank you, Thomas. You helped me make up my mind to go ahead and replace my refrigerator. I live in Alabama, where we believe ” if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” It’s hard for me to replace my fridge when it still works, but I think it will be worth it. 5/25/2008 Read full post…
Answer: Easy. Pre-drill a hole and a pocket for the screw-head using a countersink bit.

…for all his work in support of Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County. You may remember, we served as a denim drop-off location a few months ago to help Scott with his goal of collecting 500 pairs of jeans to be turned into eco-friendly insulation for homes built by the Habitat for Humanity organization. The reason for the number 500 – that’s the number of pairs of jeans needed to make insulation for one entire home. Well, Scott did better that 500 pairs, he was able to collect 657 pairs! 9 News Now featured Scott and his mountain of denim on Wednesday evening. Congratulations on exceeding your goal Scott.

Here’s a great conversation piece for the yard:
the Pondable table – it is a full-size outdoor table with a built-in water feature.
There are several models to choose from, and each table comes with a filtration system, insulation, heating and lighting. It is easy to install – just add water and fish, then plug it in. This is a great alternative to digging your own pond. And if you move, you can take your pond with you.
The table has removable top pieces, so when using the table, you can insert the tops then remove them when you’re done.
Pondable tables are made in the United Kingdom – hopefully, they’ll be here in U.S. soon.
