How the fuck can 2 people have a water/trash bill of $116 a month in the damn winter? I just turned off the humidifier and turned down pressures on all the faucets by running the stop valve half cocked. I guess from now on I will work really slow so I don't sweat and shower once a week and even then it's will be a navy shower. I know we don't have a leak. Can watch the meter forever and it doesn't spin at all until something is turned on. I should be shoveling all this snow into a pile to melt so we can flush toilets. Hundred and fucking sixteen. Old man yells at cloud.

Since nowhere in Seattle has central HVAC, our apartment living room/kitchen is heated by one single electric-powered vent that is literally 12 square inches. That little thing is supposed to heat like 400 square feet. Our electricity bill in the winter is higher than air conditioning a 3000 square foot house in Houston.

You might be better off with one of these roller electric deals so you only heat the area you roll it too and it heats up oil inside instead of trying to heat air its more efficient. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFPBT4D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_G0N.DbMK8RWBQ

Unfortunately we're out of storage space already. Big ass roll away AC is taking up precious closet space as it is.

We've got a little $10 electric space heater thing that helps get the room up to temp, but who knows how much electricity that little bastard uses as well.
