    Did anyone catch the TV show about ski homes and log houses?

    One place in particular caught my attention; I think it was 23,000 sq. ft. hunting lodge in Colorado and featured an "industrial size radiant floor heating" system which (they bragged) costs $8000.00 per month to run. Now I don't claim to be a mathmatician, but I would sure think about putting an intermittent pilot control and a flue damper on that bad boy! Or check my decimal point.

    Did it have walls?

    Or did they just leave it open so they could drive their $100,000 deer stand right on in? That sounds a little pricey to me. Kevin

    Ski homes for the

    rich and famous often include snow melt zones. That could drive the fuel cost figure to those numbers :)

    I'm not sure that would be something to brag about :( That much fuel could heat most of the homes in the small town I live in!

    I recall the show. Owned by some CEO type, who could care less about the amount of fuel he uses.

    At least I don't feel quite so energy piggish about my all-out (for me) bathroom... Even used quite lavishly I should be dead before it consumes that monthly amount of energy (current prices).

    I think....

    we may have done that job, or one similar to it...

    If you need to now how much it cost to operate before you do it, you probably couldn't afford to heat it anyway :-)

    Was it the Ashby Lodge in Grand Lake Colorado?

    Sorry...

    Not the same job. We only had a few thousand square feet of snowmelt on this one, and in order for it to have that big of a gas bill, every door and window would have to have been left open, and the wind would have been blowing out of the north at 13.9 MPH...:-) Gusting to 40 :-(
