Taxes may be lower and you have the luxury of pissing off your back porch without a care in the world but if you don’t have natural gas where your living, oil is not cheap. You also may not have sewer out there either and will have to have a septic tank. I’m not sure what the cost’s are associated with this, but if I had to guess, the cost of that may be higher then sewer as well. > > I live 10 minutes from my office however the way traffic is in the Latham area by the Northway it takes me about 25 minutes to get to work. I spent $800 in oil last winter. Temp was around 62 at night 67 the rest of the time if we were home. I also remodeled the entire house down to the studs, so I have Rtwenty something insulation in the 2X6 walls and ceiling. And the furnace is a fucking monster truck, and we redid all the ducting to match its efficency. which is 89% when we checked it last week. Gas is expensive to install if you dont have it yet, CRD will tell you that one! Septic hasnt fucked up yet so I dont know about that one, and the well sucks. My water blows and I need to add a softner to it so there is $700 or so plus salt in it every so often. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-much-commute-can-you-handle/248199)._
