Rob got interested in composting and started a bin in June when we still lived in the apartment.It's been remarkable how much stuff we've put in here and how fast it's broken down. Just 
when I think there's no more room, I'll realize how much space has opened up because of the decomposition. It always surprises me how heavy the bin is.
After Halloween, we learned the hard way that pumpkins are mostly water and make a mess. But other than that, it's been a pretty easy deal.
We used some of the compost for the first time when we transplanted the roses on Saturday. Hopefully it helps!
The water heater that came with the house leaked. A lot.We want to be eco-friendly where possible, so Rob did some research and chose the AO Smith GDHE-50 to replace it. Down the road, we plant to use it for hydronic radiant floor so that we can get rid of the monstrosity in our living room. 
The AO Smith is supposed to be even more efficient than a tankless water heater. By a fluke, our first gas bill covered up to the day before we installed it, so in a few weeks we will be able to do a pretty accurate comparison. It was pretty expensive but, thankfully, it's eligible for the federal tax credit.
