Latest #Heat #Pump usage chart for August 2026. Through 19 days the heat pump only used 85 #kWh for an average of 4.47 per day (before #FocusOnEnergy upgrades it was double). The heat pump appears to consume less energy than the old #air #conditioner. Heat Pump cools and heats 24 x 7!
Our 2026 #home #energy upgrade yielded remarkable energy savings. We enhanced the #insulation and #rim #joists, which has resulted in substantial energy savings. The chart below illustrates the significant impact of these improvements. #FocusOnEnergy #R60 #Wis #FoamSpray #Bryant #Heat #Pump
My 2026 home energy improvement increased by 157%. Re-insulated and sealed rim joists reduced energy consumption. Results measured with daily heat pump usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Daily usage decreased from 9.80 kWh before the upgrade to 3.80 kWh after. More detail available, just ask.
Our #gardening relies on portability to avoid most bad weather damage. Most plants are in #cloth #pots or #pallet #planters. For bad weather, we move #plants into the garage or #greenhouse. We live close to #Lake #Michigan, so the greenhouse also serves as an #incubator. #Yardistry #Manitowoc #WI.
Time to plant #carrot seeds in 12”’ x 24” x 12” cloth pots in oak frames and saucer pans #Manitowoc just off the lake shore. #Gardening #Greenhouse #Yardistry (year three).
Re-planted two #sweet #bell #pepper #plants from 2025 season. Two pepper and two #eggplants #overwintered in an unheated #Yardistry #Greenhouse #Manitowoc, #WI. All plants were in five gallon #cloth #pots. Non a shelf with great sun light and warn to hot days with full south exposure.
Re-planted a #wintered #eggplant stored in our #greenhouse #Manitowoc #Wi. When removing the old plant, noticed the root bottom and #cloth was moist. Cleaned the plant up, added #compost + #fertilized. Then pruned branches at which time found the core moist and alive! Yippie, maybe early veggies!
Not too sure egos of #TrumpAndCompany could see this far in advance, IMHO due to their #IQ and #MentalCapacity!
