A great list of weekend warrior projects, MLR. I’ll have to see what ones I can work on next chance I get, before these cold Pennsylvania winters start knocking at the door again.

@FS: You consider 50 degrees cold? Ha! That’s a balmy spring day here in the Keystone state. I’ve got to seconds MLR’s comment of ‘I hate you’

I can testify that caulking around the windows and placing a sturdy draft guard around your doors can work wonders. You’d be surprised to know how just a little draft can make a room feel colder.

Instead of installing dimmer switches, install CF bulbs. Dimmers don’t work with most CF bulbs, but the CF bulbs will us a fraction of even a dimmed conventional bulb. Much less work, too. :)

@MyLifeROI, Cool man. Actually, it gets down to 50 degrees here! Brrr… chilly chilly. But, San Francisco sold me when it rained on a Friday night, meaning that it snowed 18 inches of powder up in Tahoe. Did a day trip on Saturday to Squaw Valley, and then came back Sat night and played tennis in 70 degree weather on Sunday! This was all in the middle of winter.

After that experience, I have to admit that I was SOLD!

@MyLifeROI, Thanks for info and website information. Looks like a great site full of useful how-to videos. It does make installing a dimmer switch seem doable.

@Broke M.B.A.,

Depends how technically minded you are. I’ve done it before and it was pretty easy for me.

Check this DIY tutorial out: http://www.easy2diy.com/cm/easy/diy_ht_index.asp?page_id=35720237

Make sure you turn the breaker off, as they suggest. That’ll make sure you don’t electrocute yourself! ;)
