Free admission, while being great in theory, tends to bring a lot of undesireables with it. You have to charge something, even if it's simply a token entry fee, to keep out the loiterers and riff-raff. --- End quote --- I believe it's by invitation only. So not just anyone can go in. |

That just transfers the cost from your electric bill to your food bill. And why on earth is your cabin not insulated? I've never heard of anyone living in an uninsulated structure in Maine. |

His electric bill for a two story uninsulated cabin in Maine would be well over $1000/month. Maybe $2000 from Dec-Feb. |
