I really want to keep the costs down for you, but not that bad. :) Sorry.

As you probably know we don't get a lot of sunshine here in the Seattle area, but was my house ever dark. The trees were really close to the house on the South side and blocking most of the sunshine. It was so bad that I couldn't keep up with the moss on the roof even on the South side of my house. Suddenly my kitchen is much brighter even on the cloudy days. I bet my house was 10 degrees colder in the Winter than the houses up the street that were in the sunshine. Perhaps my heating bill will go down now.
