Hey Jerry that power meter that HADave mentioned above, I looked into it. Seems to me it would be a good tool to have and lend out to people. It would be cool to have a home owners association keep one and lend it out to residents looking into their power usage. Oh well we aren't there yet!
Cat thanks for mentioning the water pump. When we visited 2004 we stayed in two homes with catchment and those pumps went on continuously like for a shower or the washing machine. I lived for 25 years on a well system and never heard the pump running. Thought that was perhaps because the pump was 200 feet below ground. But there was a very large pressure tank with a bladder in it to keep the pressure up. How large of a pressure tank do you think a family of 4 would need? Thanks for any clues here! Mella
