Natural gas, 2000sq, $160, 72 degrees.

Blech. Get a paintbrush.

It would be interesting to hear if connection fees have increased relative to kwh usage costs. There are places where connection fees have increased substantially due to people essentially moving to self sufficiency akin to being "off-grid" while still maintaining a grid connection. The power company is not making money from usage, so they increase fees. I don't know if that has happened in VT, but definitely Europe, and I've heard of it in Texas and California.

On the flip side of that, the appliance isn't subjected to normally occurring fluctuations in power that happen all the time since it's not plugged in.

Michaels on the Hill has a nice view.

There are copper pipes running out of the furnace. And as far as I understand it (I’m a millennial and this is my first house so… I don’t) we have base board heating that I think has water running through it. We don’t have any hot air blowing out of any vents or anything if that also helps

Those are like toes. Big toes.

Shanty probably had the most tables with view but hands down the worst food. But for almost every place listed in the whole thread, you can call and make a reservation requesting one of the window tables.

1800sqft propane $211

Air source heat pumps in Burlington, 1,400 square foot house at 65.

Total electric bill for December was $205, but that includes heat pump hot water, electric dryer, an EV and electric (induction) stove.

It's really hard to assess the heating only costs, but I'd estimate them at ~$100 for the month. It'll be more in January and Feb as it gets colder and the heat pumps lose some efficiency.

Tiny story for you. When my wife and I were dating we booked a weekend trip to Stowe and Burlington. On the way up a good size snow started to fall. A few inches/can’t remember the total amount. There were cars all over the side of the road, some pretty bad looking accidents. We were in my POS FWD Toyota Yaris (loved the car personally). I run snow tires in the winter and swap them on & off the rims each year. Swapping the tires on and off yes does cost a little, and buying a second set of tires does set you back a little- I’m not chastising you here but the fact that you’re asking the question means it’s on your mind. We were glad we had them as we took it slow & steady. Got everywhere we wanted to go w no problems. If nothing else- snow tires aren’t a one & done purchase. They’ll last you years. I’d say get them.

Which of these have big views from every table?

178 nat gas and hot water. 1/4 cord of wood for ambiance. 2700 sq ft. So 200 total.

Are you heating with hot air or hot water? And what type of equipment? I.e. high efficiency(vented/exhausts with some kind of pvc) or standard efficiency(vents/exhausts with some kind of metal pipe)

> The tires are the things on your car that makes contact with the road.

Hush up Phish head:)

Show me on this doll where the flat landers hurt you!

You, sir, have this all figured out.

Locked in our propane at $2.90/gal I believe, on the budget program to basically pre buy 800 gallons with the cost spread over 12mo. Works out to $250ish per month I think (lots of bills changed these past few months so I may have screwed that up). Much better than paying close to $1000 every few weeks in the winter, though. Just in the month of December we refilled once (300g tank, so about 200 gallon of propane delivered).

Have also burned about a cord of wood in our wood stove so far this season. Wood is free from our land (although I did buy 1.5 cord this year due to having a kid) Main heat is baseboard/hydronic.

House is 2400sqft, about 400sqft of which is a newer addition with vaulted ceilings. Woodstove is in the addition so most of the heat gets trapped in there with it being an addition with high ceilings.

All zones set at 65 but addition and first floor are 70-75 when the wood stove has been running for a bit. Second floor is always 65.

5 cords in a month????

1200 sq ft home. All electric. 68 degrees. GMP is $321/month budget billing.

He's definitely not born here. Moved here three, four years ago for the breweries.

Same lol. Then once I finally did stop I called my dad who said I likely boiled my brake fluid. Told me I just had to wait for it to cool off.

So of course that meant throw snow/water at the rotors since that will totally cool the brake fluid.

Peak Lodge at Killington.

Good food locations:

• Waterworks has nice views of the river both patio and inside.

• Trapp Family Lodge and the Trapp Family Dining room have some great views of their property. Be aware the dining room had a dress code the last time I went.

• Michael's on the Hill has a nice view of Waterbury.

Less good food locations:

• The Shanty has nice views of Lake Champlain.

• Many of the larger ski resorts have restaurants near the base that are open to the public. Stowe has a nice cafe at Spruce peak.

• Skinny pancake in Burlington looks out on the lake.

• Bayside Pavilion in St Albans is also right on the lake
