Digital..how much room do you have above the ceiling drywall and the underside of the roof? This is an "arched" roof and not a peaked roof I assume. The reason I'm asking is I'm wondering if there's a way to put an attic fan on one gable end of your home and a gable vent on the other. I do...

Harry I missed that newscast as well and Fox News is all I watch. I don't always support their view but I do believe they give a much more real newscast than the other stations. (The way they CBS/NBC/etc. fawn over The Evil One you'd think they need to apply Chap-Stick before each glowing announceme...

Dean glad to hear the homegrown is coming along. Keep us posted..who knows I might have to borry the neighbors tiller! :) Yanita..glad to hear yer tryin' to quit.

Aye Dean, I've already done the research and the cost/time/labor involved in growin' yer own..ain't worth it! I work with a feller that raised tabaccy as a youth and from what he told me it's slave labor. On the upside..and just fer chuckles...yesterday when I went into the local tabaccy supply I to...

Sherry...you ain't seen nuthin' yet. BBBbbaby you ain't seen nuthin' YET! Sounds like an old song doesn't it? Sherry let me explain. At present it costs me $13 for 1lb. of tobacco....$1.50 ea. for 3 boxes of tubes to "roll my own." Total cost....$17.50 to roll up 3 cartons of smokes. 600 c...

Hi-Teck...here's a 2 part response. #1... I wouldn't want my water-softener draining into my septic tank because I do think the influx of salt would cause some problem sooner or later. Either thru the normal function of the water softener or due to the overflow shooting salt directly into the septic...

Shadow like yourself I've come to like the new fittings. No special tools or crimps to buy..easy and fast to install. So far so good.

Hmmmm? After looking at Harrys photo I dropped to my knees and gave thanks for my good fortune. Seriously! Anyways..long story short...I had to work a section at a time. Wasn't by choice, but I live here and I was afraid that gutting too much at one time would cause a catastrophic failure. When I ri...

Gary I read and re-read this post many times before I felt I had to respond. I'm still not sure I have all my thoughts in line but thought I'd just ramble on here a bit.
