    It's been sooo up and down here in Michigan. 80s in March, freezing cold in April. I've had it, no more heat. Yes I hate the cold but I also hate the heating bills. No, its not so bad the pipes will freeze or anything but seriously. Bring on summer, bc the a/c won't get turned on either!

    Since my wife and I bought our home in 2009, our family has had two new additions. The house is about 1500 sq. ft and we are quickly pushing the limits in the house for space.

    Maybe some folks read my thread started on Jan 20th called 'it's turning into quite a year already'. I now have a follow up. I have decided that damage control is going to be the mantra for this year. February has - I admit - not been as bad as January but we do still have half of the month...
