Kamloops questions

do you have a relater you are working with I know a few in the city there is a couple that I know that are really good people. Thompson now you are talking cold winter and long at that. You don't thaw out up there till June some years.... By the way if you by right on the river it stays a bit cooler in the summer, you get a nice breeze moving down river a lot of the time.

Any way good luck in finding a house.

actually not necessarily true, it is hotter at my place than in town in the summer, but I have found if you are on the other river then you are right as they get the wind coming from the north funneling down the valley. by my place we have the sun shining on the valley all day because the valley runs east and west and trust me there is no cool breeze but there usually is a little one about supper time which cools it off to about 32 degrees by 11pm. good for drinking beer on the patio

I never said when there was a breeze but I remember a friend of mine many years ago lived along the river closer to town than you though and there seemed to be a breeze in the evenings. We didn't hang out at his house very often as we were young and not so bright and decided the bar was a better place to drink beer and spend all our money at..
We would have saved so much if we would have just drank at one of our places.

heck the only time my electrical bills are that hi is during the summer when the AC is running. other wise mine are about 1/2 of there "average" as you get towards the coast there is a larger number of houses with electrical heat which cranks up the average. I pay 44 bucks per month for electricity on equal billing.

interesting article though as even a 30% increase over 3 years only means BC will still be one of the two cheepest provences in Canada which is the same as it is now. but that also reflects the price in 3 years if they increases are all aproved. right now we are the cheepest as we are 6.27 and manatoba is 6.30 but this is also assuming that no one else raiases there rates also which it looks like almost every provence is going to do.

do as you would any where else. make sure what ever you buy has natural gas heat and hot water and the electricity is minimized.
