Altough Ivy won't be crawling for a few months, they get so far so fast! I'm asking for my daughter who's crawler snuck all the way to the top of their steep stairs recently. If you use a gate, is there one you recommend? My DD has two stairways and needs to purchase another gate. I'm betting you have a creative remedy.

We got a few quotes ranging from $8k-13k for various brands of boilers. It was a big investment but the payback was immediate. Our monthly average gas bill fell from $400 to just under $200 (winter peak bills used to be $800+, now they are around $400 for the coldest months). It sounds like a lot, but we have 3,600 square feet on our first 2 floors that have radiators, plus our attic that has about 1,000 sq ft (no radiators, but it gets warm from the heat that rises through the 2nd floor ceilings and staircase). <br /><br />If you're going to get a new boiler, get the highest efficiency possible. It's not that much more money and it will pay itself back.

Right now we don't have a basement, attic or even a spare bedroom to do that with. All the kids' toys are in the living room and they play well, but there is still too much stuff the toddler can get into that I have to constantly redirect him from.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828516083662339236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-3579001962795356762013-04-09T15:08:43.115-04:002013-04-09T15:08:43.115-04:00Could you provide a link for boiler you have?Could you provide a link for boiler you have?llamaofdoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749751381240068004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-60334281253691846942013-04-09T14:41:43.827-04:002013-04-09T14:41:43.827-04:00wow you're inspiring me for when we own a plac...wow you're inspiring me for when we own a place.
