Energy Efficient

Good quality furnace filters, covers for the windows. Did not chop down that f----ing black Walnut tree that shades the house.

Did buy some of those mercury vapor filled bulbs and deployed them.

I'm thinking of putting together my own LED lighting panels - they'd be cheaper and more reliable than those silly light bulb shaped things that cost way more than decent LEDs. Just make a circuit board, populate it with strong LEDs and use a more rational method than those switching circuits that the pros use.

a friend has his bar lit with LEDs. there's a motion sensor beneath the countertop so when you step behind it, the LEDs, also under the countertop, light up all the bottles, the sink, the counter, everything. i'll have to get some photos sometime, but it looks awesome!
