I have never had excessive moisture problems in a well ventilated area when using propane + I am a rabid user of paste wax on shop tools.

Home warranties appear to be just as worthless as those for autos. The fine print must be so fine that it is invisible or that it is so full of legalese that only a lawyer can decipher it. Shysters are the reason everyone should have an emergency fund and just take care of things themselves.

You know the Big Name Hucksters peddling these worthless warranties would not buy what they are selling.

It took several tries to finally find a long dead, unused number. Every change cost me money but it has been well worth it.

After my 2 brain surgeries, I slept in my Zero Gravity Lawn Chair for a month each time. Very comfortable and supportive.

Retirement is Great! No ringing phones. We have special ring tones for the elderly parents so they can always get a hold of us in the case of emergencies. Our landline is private and unlisted so the solicitations have all but stopped. Our doctors have the wife's cell number and no one has...

A lot of the newer propane heaters are equipped with oxygen depletion sensors that will turn he heaters off if the 02 levels drop to an unsafe level but yes, it is always best to add a little fresh air to the area.

Ditto for a small propane unit of any type.

The one about the mysterious holes...Carpenter Bees.

First Snow that stuck arrived on September 22nd and it won't be leaving until April or May. Poor trees still had their leaves on and all the birds and forest creatures still have bewildered looks on their faces. To Early!!

I think I would just dig a big hole right beside it and let it slide down and in. Top with dirt.

You are lucky to live in civilization. I saw a couple here last week being advertised for $300 each. For that price, they should be filled with a quality bourbon.

Last summer, I set out about 6 diet soda cans laced with boric acid. I never saw any yellow jackets or hornets after that.

That is the main reason that I quit drinking soda outside...set that can down for a second and a big surprise may await your next sip.

We average just under 2 people per square mile. I can't believe we will be getting fiber optic either.
