Good news came this week: our application for the "Energy Savers" grant from the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association was approved. When we purchased the house, which is a 1920s era bungalow, we registered it with the association. This made us eligible for discounts and grants, in addition to a cool plaque.
The grant we have been approved for is a $4000 award from the city that can be used for updates such as insulation and energy-efficient appliances. In the coming weeks we will be contacted by a contractor who will perform and energy assessment and recommend how to use the money.
Four grand to invest in the house for doing nothing more than a couple of applications? Sweet deal!
Meanwhile, Rachel is packing now for her trip to Taiwan. So much to do!
