There's a Snoopy on the local Craigslist - they want $300

Yes, funny thing is I've never been on any other forum where that has happened. Despite some very argumentative posts & threads on some of the sites. And one thread on one site was actually allowed to run so that people could vent about a bad event & get it out of their system The reason for that is that it is a stupid thing to run without GFCI's Someone will get killed one day, probably a small child

No, not in the plans We have a Vacation planned to see a Mouse & that's all the cheese we have to spend on travel this year. Larger items will probably be Pre-Order only this year. It all depends upon job, how work on the house progresses etc. I think the wife is getting sick of the boxes, so have to see how the garage works in changing her mind I have decided to shut down sales from approx Dec 11th thru Jan 11th for 2009 so I can enjoy the Holidays. I shut down in 2008 - plan was Dec 23rd - Jan 5th, but it ended up being earlier & longer due to being sick. I'm still sick & luc

I can see the flicker in 1/2 wave I saw the TV news about the Plasma/LCD, its more about energy use then any specific TV type. My old 35" CRT used about 100 watts My new 42" LCD used 225 watts out of the box. I adjusted it down to about 105 watts. I ruled out Plasma TV's as the ones I looked at used 400-500 watts. That would be like running a small heater in the summer

The bottom will be a garage 24x36 I want to have nets on pulleys to bring molds up against the ceiling Then cabinets on the walls & shelving to hold more The shelves will go on top of the cabinets, then molds I also want to build lite-weight shelves over the garage doors for molds The attic (3rd floor) will be walk-up & will be all storage Valentines, Easter, odd Holiday items will go up there All inflatables, then older molds w/boxes that are harder to store I may not need a lot of the garage, have to see But considering the way they keep multiplying........

What Does Your Storage Look Like?

That's without the roof on I think it will be too small, but I'll manage The middle floor will be a great room, cathedral at the back (South) The attic & most of the garage will be mine...all mine!!! (don't tell the wife) -
Also the wire will corrode somewhat - probably not much I like the liquid tape

I don't look for cheap when it comes to electrical components I have 4 Square D panels

Here's my new storage area The walk up attic will be 19x20, with additional area over the stairs Smaller molds, inflatables & small items will go up there As well as a work area & older molds w/boxes In the garage I am planning on "nets" with pulleys to hold molds up against the ceiling out of the way. Then shelves/cabinets around the perimeter. I also want to build a light weight shelf over the 2 garage doors for blow molds

I know there were rumors that this would be discontinued for 2009 My sales rep indicates it will be produced for 2009 No special colors on tender cars - or anything else - I tried I've been out of commission since approx Dec 12th with one bug or another. I'm feeling better today, but have said that before in the past month. I also "shut down" for the Holidays (posted on my site) I will be shutting down for Christmas 2009 around Dec 11th as the last day I will ship, resuming in January - maybe Jan 11th It just takes too much time away from the Holidays to continue to ship right thru th
