Green Living: When leaving the house for a few days or longer, what is the most energy efficient temperature to leave your home at?

We set our temperature during the summer at 78. My husband likes to turn it up to 85 when we leave, but it seems it take a lot more energy to cool the house off when we return. Please advise! Thanks!

    energy and ultimately $$. I wasn't sure if keeping it at a consistent temperature was more efficient than turning it up or off and having to cool it back down again.

Cleaning & Organization: What is the recommended cleaner for real hardwood floors.

Was told Orange Glo and Murphy's shouldn't be an option. We were recommended Bonnie Kime (not sure on spelling), but it isn't available at Costco and isn't on order either. Thanks.

Remodeling: This is a follow up to an earlier post about Battle Renovations. Wanted to attach a picture as requested.

We used Battle Renovations to redo our siding and painting. Battle suggested adding the design elements on the garage - the framing around the garage and just below the window above the garage door. These elements totally changed the look of the house. The picture of the granite in our kitchen can be found on their website: http://www.battlerenovations.com/Slideshows...

Our Kitchen is in pictures 20, 21, and 22.
