RE: Taking stock of appliances

in #homesteading8 years ago

It looks like you have everything covered pretty well.

One two very small possibilities.

In the kitchen where there are lots of lights, could some of the bulbs be removed if you don't need the full light?

With dishwasher, could some washing be done by hand? How is your hot water heated?

Sort:  

We do wash some items by hand, like knives and some glasses and all pots and pans. I did all our dishes by hand for 8 years. I'll be honest, it's nice with the dishwasher :)

We need the lights, sadly. The best option would be if we could install some other lights and just use them, but right now I don't know how we could go about that. Will ask my husband to see if he can figure out a way.

We don't pay for heating water, just as we don't have a washing machine, that's all done on a complex level for all 100 apartments. UGH! I'm not happy with being a renter at all! Actually, we don't pay for our actual water use at all, but a general fee for the entire building's use.

Thank you for the exercise and your response. It really got me thinking!
