The Mother of all gas heating bills

[Cronos]

Yikes. And I thought my $200 something for a 2 BR apartment was a lot.

upstairs?

when i was in an upstairs apartment, it sucked the heat right out of the place

Yep, top floor(second of two).

Yup...you live in SW City, now?

I'm around the Hampton and Chippewa neighborhood.

Right off Grand and Gravois, yes. I moved in from West County back in August(cue the "rich kid" comments again, haha) and am very much not used to having such a heating bill in my first winter of, well, having a heating bill.

And your area is very close to where I grew up: you live somewhat close to the Ted Drewes, right? I grew up on Willmore Rd. off of Jamieson, right next to scenic River Des Peres.

So you're down near St. Mary's High School?

Looks it's further South down Grand from me, but it's withn a mile or so according to google maps yes.

Cool...I know where you are...not too far from me (I don't think)

I feel like every time I go out socially it ends up being near grand or off 40/hampton.

omg this makes me fear for my next heating bill.

Humans shouldn't live in this climate.

$600?????

For how long????

We just spent $400 to refill our propane tank, but that makes a total of $800 for the year and that's going back to September.

i live on the top floor of an apartment and the heat does just get lost...

i know the girl who lives below me, and i'll hang out at her place and its all nice and warm and toasty...and she never turns the heat on

I find this strange. I used to used on a top floor apartment in Champaign, IL. Even when it got really cold, I didn't have to heat that much as the heat from the apartments below me (and the drier that exhausted heat into the hallway ) leaked up into my unit.

Maybe Jocephus's roof has no insulation?

And lol at the dryer that exhausted into the hallway.
