Keeping Cool comes with a price!

Ouch!  I just got our electric bill for the month of July/August, and it was a lot more than I expected it to be.  Usually, during the winter, it is about fifty dollars/month, and during the summer it is around one hundred twenty-five, but this last month's bill was practically one hundred fifty dollars!  Our house is only just under one thousand sq. ft., so it is not very big, but our A/C is about 28 years old right now(and I think that is the problem).  The person that I had come recharge our A/C this summer said that the unit that we have is a very efficient one for it's time, but I can't help but wonder how much more efficient a newer one would be.

Chapel Renovation Update

Well, things are moving fast in the chapel!  School has started, and it is not finished yet, but it is looking better every time I see it.  Bro. Winston is here more often than not, and is making sure everything gets done. 

Every day, I look forward to seeing what changes have been made. 

Chapel Renovation

There are still a lot of tools and things in the way, but the chapel is starting to take shape!  It is starting to look much better than I thought it would!  The trim on top is going to be all the way around, , and they don't have the lights finished yet, but it looks good!  A new pulpit is being made, and the carpet has been ordered.  I'm excited!  I may just go back to College so I can sit in the new Chapel every day! 

Hydrogen Fuel Cell

I've started to work on a hydrogen fuel cell to put in my vehicle.  I don't have the book, because I don't want to spend $300 for something that may not work!  I have worked over it mentally several times, and I think I have something that will work.  I put a rough draft of one in a car about a year and a half ago, and it turned off my check engine light!  The car didn't have a catalytic converter in it, and was getting a bad reading from the oxygen sensor.  Apparently it started burning clean enough to remove that code.  The only problem that I was having--after about an hour or so, the water was so hot that it was boiling, therefore putting a water vapor into the engine rather than the pure hydrogen and oxygen.  oops!  Well, let's see in a couple of weeks if it works.
