Mary and I are enjoying our geo heat now.

I think that baseboard heat can be fine when outside temperatures are at 40 degrees or so. Keep the back up switched on by computer.  A concerted effort to mass produce the geo pipe and heat pump and flow pump could save a lot of $.  If people's expectations are not so high holding the installer accountable, we could get somewhere.  Pipe cost skyrocketed after I purchased in May and then dropped, so it is only 16% higher now.

And with oil prices down geo cannot compete.

I sometimes think the oil cartel has us like an abusive husband, and when the wife tries to divorce, he becomes nice (lowers price) temporarily, and so the victim continues the relationship.

Carl, Brian and I gave 4 people estimates Thursday, but prices are high because as contractors we must guarantee no puncture of the loop pipe and satisfaction with the comfort.  And writing in an agreement that there can be no litigation is a bummer for the client.

On Nov 15 Lynn and I speak at the Community Center. We'll see if politics enters discussion.

Here's an email that I was sent from a few sources.

I knew it was false, checked it on Snopes.com, and replied back.
