As many of the regulars to this site probably already know. I've moved my family from Chicago to New Hampshire. We bought an old Cape Cod that needed some work, especially in the area of energy efficiency. The previous owner was using 1800 gallons of heating oil per year and at least two full cords of wood, probably more to heat the house. I've been taking pictures along the way and will post what I've done and the progress I've made once I get a little more settled in.

Here's the post about the approach I'm taking:

We've also applied for an energy efficiency program through the local utility that starts with a discounted home energy audit and I plan on posting about our experience with the program if we get in.

And finally, here's a pic of the new house.
