Hey Chris

During the winter I'm just topping off most of the pools. Some of the smaller crocs eat year round so I change their water. But still not very often maybe once every 2 weeks.

In the summer all are being changed weekly some twice a week. One 500 gallon tank will fill 3 pools. So I may make 3 trips a week to the creek. I have a sump pump even though all the pools have drains with the sump pump I can water the trees. They love gator water.

I'm not sure how deep my well is. My neighbor across the street has great water. They drink straight from the tap. A softner would help and we discussed a "super" filter many times with the company that works on our well. I guess I feel like it is throwing good money after bad.

Much more concerned about heating issues. Only mid Jan. and we have already been in the twenties 18 times!!!

That's crazy that is usually for the year. So not only was 2008 the third driest year in Kerrville history. This winter is shaping up to be the coldest in 20 years.

Last months electric bill, $875.00

Once again that is a Feb. electric bill not Dec. this month will be over $1,000.00

My wife hates me in the winter. And while I claim I can't afford a fancy wood burning hotwater heater like yours. With these bills how can I not afford one.
