To drill the heat source will be twenty-four thousand at least;
\nto put up the unit another ten thousand they say;

\nthere’s also the survey for planning and windows’ heat loss;
\nand then all the incidentals like rebuilds and window upgrades;

Nothing else to do but laugh and stay
\nand party while it fritters all away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
