  1. Thanks. We had one of those free blower tests done by the power company (West Penn Power here...First Energy company) and though I did not have weather stripping on the access door it tested pretty good which surprised me. The things that did not test good were having the damper on my fireplace open and some of the recessed lighting. I keep hearing conflicting info on the tax break for putting insultation in. The government site says it is not refundable, but my CPA says we can still apply it and get a refund so not sure. I got a $500 rebate from the power company as well. I am still out 3-4K after the rebates. We went from R19 to R49.

  3. I just got mine this week. It took them 2.5 days to take out all the fiberglass batting, seal then blow in cellulose. Hoping for some returns now. It has been so "not hot" this week, hard to see any difference...plus it may be more of a winter savings than summer re: heat rises.
  4. GFS, CMC and EC all still say no official heat wave until a week out. After Sunday, EC has no days above 86 @ 2PM for MDT until a week from today. I bet MDT does hit 90 on at least one of those days but 3 days in a row is not forecast by the 3 major Globals as this time. CMC is the closest with a possible mini–Heat Wave Sun-Tue before cooling down. If the CPC forecast were calling for extreme heat prior to Aug 1 or 2 they may adjust.
  5. The lowest decades mostly during the major wars of the mid to later 1900's.
  6. Dubois is at 4. WPT at way down at 8 and probably dropping out of the top 10 over the next 2 days. Unlike MDT and Dubois, WPT is not dominated by 2000's at the top.
  7. MDT currently at the #3 slot for July all time Mean temps. The next two days should push it down to the ones below it (or close) but then next week may pull it back up again. I think #1 is out of reach now. 8 of the top 11 have taken place since 2000; Hot Box/HIA rules. MDT will probably score their 10th BN day of the month today and 11 looks do-able tomorrow.
  8. Wow, Impressive. 40's near Dubois. 62 for the low here. Windows open.
  9. Cactus water, unique! BUT not as unique and stylish as the red sneakers
