What is the average electricity bill in san diego? Mine has been $600 without even a dishwasher!?

Q. I am renting a small(1 bedroom) cottage attached to a larger(2,000sf)house. There is a built in pool. We devide the electric by 1/3(total of people in both houses. We are getting electric bills of $565 and even $665! FOR 1 month! I watch tv in the dark at night and the 2 other people are gone all day. Is it possible electricity can be stolen without a line being run from the house? My share of the electric has been as much as $160 and I dont have a washer, dryer or dishwasher..something is SO wrong. It is not the heat part of the bill..it is the electric.
I have another 6 months on this lease but this is crazy.
I am not sure the electric company will talk to me since the bill comes in the lardlords name and he just gives me a copy to pay him. Hope somebody has an idea what it could be..thanks

A. WHOA! I live in a 2500 square foot home with a dishwasher that runs nightly, a washer and dryer that do 3 loads or so a week, computers (2) and TVs on almost all day, landscaping lights at night and a re-circulating pump 6 man Hot Springs Spa we use almost daily. My highest electric bill this year was at Christmas when I decorate my home like DisneyLand and that was $250 for the month.

Call SDGE and ask for an energy audit. Are you actually seeing the bill? I'm in north county, our bills include natural gas and electric. If you have the actual bill, with the account number on it, go on-line and take the energy audit first. Then with the account number, call SDGE and ask for them to come out and check the meter. Find out WHAT is sucking that kind of kilowatt usage! Is there a heater in the pool that you could turn off? They came out to our house a couple of years ago to do the on-site energy audit and discovered some ways we could reduce our usage and save money, but we have NEVER paid bills even close to what you're seeing in the 9 years we've lived here! It is possible though that something that you don't know about is sucking electricity and you need to find out what that is!

Q. I want to make the living room (12.8x13.11 ft) the place for my full bed and tv, but at the same time put a little couch and area for guests. the dining room (7.7x8.11) is connect to the living room. The bedroom ( 8.9x9.6) will be a pace for my meditation and also an area for my computer but I want the two to be seperate. I also want the dining room to have something to divide it from the living room. Any ideas on how to make my place look modern, yet organized, homey, and shiek? I'm on a low budget but just not great with ideas. Thanks.

A. besides your bed, get a small futon couch(which opens to a guest bed and a divider wall which you can get a Pier One imports. You can find websites about decorating online. very similar to the tv shows on the subject just search in a search engine like yahoo
