heat i dont really mind
but 2 weeks of 103 to 105, with a 2 days at 107 (for over an hr ) at my house is above average by 6 degrees. the 103 to 105 hung around, by 2pm to nearly 6 pm
then we had last sat at 109, . we were cool inside, but it really gave the ac units a work out.

the big hangar stayed at 75 or less,
261.12

ele bill arrived 1966 KWH used for the 30day period from june 8 to july 8
actual kwh charge was 131, but add on the PCRF of .0575 it added another 113 to the bill plus 17.00 for having a meter
PCRF is directly related to nat gas cost passed on to our coop from the generating station
and we still have half the pcrf fee paying for the snow event of past

best thing is the high efficiency ac units used 699 KWH for the hangar and 421 for the apartment . rest was dryer, lights and water heaters, tv , sewer lift station (30 amp pump) etc
i told my wife we are turning off water heaters and no more tv

ours jumped almost 150 last month
i have been watching our daily kwh usage.... its going to be a shocker
but all the weather tight stuff we have been doing last few years is keeping it manageable

water bill i imagine will be over 500 thats terrible we only water the fruit trees

they drained lake fork down around 10 feet in fall to do soem work on the dam and grout
thinking winter rains would bring it back up FAIL

NOPE there are parts we cross on the bride that you can see sand and walk probably the entire 2 mile stretch form shore to shore
but its not as bad as 1982 when i walked across lake tawokoni measuring distance between telephone poles that were normally in 4 to 6 feet of water

hey hmmm send cool air our way
we just went 104 on our personal weather station at lake fork

29% humidity and pressure is dropping not a cloud anywhere to be seen
