AA>All the more reason to go for a 2nd hand one at much much less
  >cost than a new tv.

Our local Thrift store has almost completely stopped offering
electronics. I bought a Lot of computer stuff there a few years
ago but they don't carry it anymore.

RM> Even if I get a second place I wouldn't want to be hauling
RM> a big LED TV back and forth for the winter..

AA>Not planning to stay the whole winter this time?

So far the plan is to stay the winter again this year.
Unfortunately the place 2 doors down from me just sold and they
were the ones paying to plow out the road last winter.

I don't know if the new owners will want to or have to do that,
so my costs could go up quite a bit. Several times last winter
they paid $225 for plowing in a single week.

I gave them some money towards the plowing even though they said
I didn't have to since they had to plow it out anyways..
