That won't help me figure out how often the well pump runs. It's 480 feet down, on the far side of the yard. And even though I CAN get to the septic pump, I'm not going to ;-) We're talking megawatt-hours, not tiny dribbles. Our house uses about 23 MWh each year. I expect this project to pay for itself FAST. > description: font position out of range Oops, I have a new version of pcb that supports accented characters.

I suspect my computers are eating a big chunk, but there are a LOT of other things in the house that are suspect. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
