Buppies, heal faster...:thumbsup: Sorry you are under the weather.
Phil, glad your wife is doing better. That means you are doing better. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
30 degrees out, what a drop from yesterday, about 70 in the greenhouse, orange light blazing away in lawn, that dial is
impossible to make fine adjustments on. For once it would been nice to have a digital thermostat on the heater...for what they charged me
it should have. About triple what something similar on Amazon is....just got a 700 dollar plus bill for both heaters installed when I expected a much smaller bill. Well, then I go and think about Farmer's heating system and for sure can't complain. Great business, overcharge me to install a propane consumer, then overcharge me to consume the propane. Capitalism is grand...but wouldn't have it any other way. The kicker here is they charged me very little for labor, just the parts were seriously expensive. A wall mount 25k propane heater should not cost 300 bucks. Oh well, nice paint job right?
Shows how China/world pricing has changed our attitudes. 10 years ago I would have thought 325 bucks was a fair price for a quality heater.
Now you look in Amazon and see 3000 people say this heater is marvelous, and it costs 160 bucks looking exactly the same.
Probably because both came out of the same factory.
I'm old school where I like to deal with one vendor who takes complete responsibility for their work, electrician, plumber, gas company particularly.
I do not want to land in Pitt County. Told them that and got a good laugh, and a head nod. Went to Philadelphia Electric Gas and Electric fire training school as a volunteer fireman many years ago. Healthy respect for things that burn, blow up or will poison you.
Eric, I tried listening to that taking me away song and it set such a vibration up in my bad ear I had to turn it off. :thumbdown:
It's self realizing, you listen to that and you will need to be taken away But thanks. Talk about avoidance therapy.
Food shopping this morning. Need to find out if helper can come tomorrow and work on garden plastic, otherwise I'm going to be down on
my hands and knees for a long time with razor knives and big scissors.
It's Friday, have a good one guys. 31 here going up to 52 in sunshine.
