if everything works out, we will find out if the bank accepted our offer on a home were buying. its a 2006 with around 1700 square ft. so not huge and its pretty new so making a house E.E. should have been in the mind of the builders at this time in age. im a huge fan of ways to make your home more energy efficient and when living in michigan, we did a pretty good deal of things that made a huge difference. but this is texas and the main thing is keeping the cold in and heat out; the exact opposite of MI. so what advice can you offer for things to do to make our house E.E. down here in TX?
