wow Rob...
Are you willing to adopt a 30 year old kid? I would be more than willing to mow your lawn, do the dishes, or various other chores just so I could have access to all those toys.

WTF
Ever since I added a refrigerator in the man cave and 6 Tube TV's, my electric bill pretty much doubled.
As a courtesy, we have reviewed your SCE account. Based on the first 11 days of this billing period for your account ending 444XXX, your next bill is projected to be $255.00, which is 86% higher than it was last year.

I need some solar panels!

Yep Refrigerators suck....especially older models.
All equipment sucks power and the older they are the more they suck too(this can also be applied to hookers). Might have to say good bye to tube tvs. But definitely get a more a efficient fridge, its always on and drains alot of power. Plus if the fridge is in the garage, it uses even more power to cool and keep things fresh. I read that some where about putting indoor fridges outside including the garage is a no no.I probably got that off Con ed website or HGTV.

Dude, I don't know if I should start applauding or call the insane asylum on you. This is some serious amount of hardware. I'm both ecstatically impressed with this project and alarmingly concerned about your energy bill at the same time. Wow. Just wow. This is most definitely [H]ard.
