I'm pretty much done auditing my electrical usage for another year. There's only a couple of things I have left to do. I want to replace the light fixtures in my son's rooms with something a little bigger I can fit CFLs into and I would also like to install a switched green-ciruit so I don't have to run around the house switching off power bars. My house was originally built in 1912 and needs a few electrical upgrades anyway.
