$1 gas bill

We know.  MORE PICTURES!  But first we have to report on our 3rd energy bill since moving in. . . and more or less fully using appliances and fixtures.  Sure, it's summer in NC.  And one of the hottest on record.  But last year, where we used ~$30 in natural gas for hot water and cooking. this past month, we used $1.  It was so low, that our utility company imposed a $10 service/recovery fee.  Of course, we'll report back in January, when the gas furnace will be in service.
