It's been a fun summer and the final form of the building is complete.
Landscaping is mostly complete and there is a bit of fencing to do. I have been doing most of the work myself and getting some sailing in at the same time. The utility bills are low as expected. So far our natural gas bills (hot water) average about 40$ per month for the building with all three apartments occupied. We have not yet installed the heat recovery unit for hot water in the stairwell. We will be able to use the hot air to heat the apartments on the second and third floor by just opening our stairwell door during the day. The electrical is about 80$ per month, average electrical use is 400 to 500 kwh per month or between 13 and 16 kwh per day for the 3 apartments and common space. About 1/2 the costs are delivery charges. Our tenants are wonderful and as you can see we use our terrace a lot.
