We're worried that it is going to be more expensive. Plus we'd have to be in charge of worrying about oil delivery. If anyone who has experience dealing with oil heat wanted to calm our fears. that would be great.
It can be pretty expensive. One delivery can cost $500 right now. Otherwise, though, the place sounds fantastic.
Hivemind help, please!

What is that? It's not a cliche. It's not a trope. But, it's a specific reference that is meant to invoke a specific image. Is there a specific name for that or am I so knee-deep in this thesis that I can't even think anymore?
That could definitely be it.
Get the past bills so you can see what they are - and honestly the oil companies do whatever it takes to deliver oil. so the delivery shouldn't be a pain.
sj, I think oil heat is more common in New England than the rest of the country. My niece dealt with it in their last rental and it was sort of expensive. BUT they had a drafty, old farm house to heat. An apartment might be less troublesome with that type of system. Can you ask the landlord for an estimate on usage? Or another tenant?
This past winter has been particularly bad for the prices and the weather. But there is no telling yet weather the price would go down for next winter. Delivery isn't such an ordeal.
bonny, that sounds like such corporate bullshit! Were you under contract to them when you developed it? Because that could complicate any intellectual rights issues. Still, makes them seem like stoopid bastards.
Liv had her first speech therapy session today. She's picking up words and signs soo quickly. She's still behind in 2 word phrases and such, but we are making progress.

Per month?

They said it cost about $1000 last year. I don't believe a thing real estate people say anymore. I haven't dealt with one yet that hasn't lied to me.
you should be able to see the actual bills - Oil delivery isn't a monthly thing - more on an as needed basis -

Nope. Totally free agent. Unfortunately, I didn't do anything to protect myself is terms of copyrighting the material before I presented it to them. All I have is the hard drive on which the proposal was written and a bunch of email discussion.
Yay for catching up on signs and words! Go Liv with the comm skillz.
I had oil heat for years. Wasn't that much more expensive, but oil is not cheap anymore.
Delivery is easy peasey.
