Hey Curtis, do you by chance have a Tractor Supply store near you? The reason i ask is that they fill propane bottles cheap, i know you can buy a 100 gal/pound tank from Lowes for $127.00, and in Batesville Tractor Supply will fill any tank that you bring in for about $1.75 per gal, i know several people who are doing this. That's what the price was in late 2013.
I have a rented tank, and the people that it's rented from wanted $2.75 per gal. so i didn't put any into the tank. The only reason that i'm out is becase i rented the place to a friend of a friend and he screwed me over leaving a light bill and water bill, plus he burned up all the propane that i had (over 100 gal) and skipped town, screwing me over.

Anyway just food for thought, because winter is not over for you or me.

Zip.

I know you've all heard and done this before, that is spraying expanding foam into cracks. But, if you have a crawl space, or an attic, go into those areas after dark, first turning on ALL the lights inside the house. You'll be surprised at how much light you'll be able to see. When you inspect an area for light, after your first look, go a few feet and turn around and look again, often you'll see light that you couldn't see before. Fill those spots with expanding foam.
When using the expanding foam spray can in the crawl space you'll need a small diameter hose to put over the supplied straw from the can. That way you'll be better able to get to the small holes and cracks that are in very awkward to get to places.
Hope this helps you. dgh

Glad I locked in my propane price last summer for the year.
I have a great fire place made by Country Flame that has 2 blowers built in and blows the heated air back through my houses furnace vents.
I can burn a fire all weekend and never have my furnace kick on once.
I have mountains of firewood stacked and covered out back. Clear out a few trees, cut and split every Spring.

Those oil filled space heaters are bigtime power suckers. A few years back I lived in a really small cabin with electric heat wall unit. Bought one of those oil filled jobs, didn't use the wall unit for one month, and my electric bill was almost twice what just the wall unit was. And it was a mild winter that year....
