    With the rash of roof collapses it would seem that the engineers missed something big in the calc's.

    You folks get heavy snow, so whats the deal.

    Out here in the Pacific North West we don't usually get heavy snow, at least not in the low elevations.

    Hope things don't get any worse.

    General practice is 100% beyond real world worst case scenario.

    Cost down...hmmmm.. is that the same trick they used in Florida where that bridge went down????


    I like worst possible scenario plus 100%

    Not a heck of a lot to it cleaning out a Harman, at least it is that way with my p68. I think you model is build about the same way. Why other stoves are not built about the same is a mystery to me. I get more impressed with this stove every year I use it.

    That may be the case but a roof that can stand 4' of standing water can hold a lot of snow.

    Still short of breath and leg badly swollen, I've been to the doctors. All I hear is "loose weight". They are right, I know it. I've tried so many times. Loose it and gain it back.
    You did better than me when you were able to let the pups go. I failed at that when my Himalayan had her kittens. Now I have 6 adult (fixed) Himalayan cats. Only two of them are distinctly different in appearances. Had to put different color collars on them, but even then it is hard to see the collars in all that thick cat hair. 4 blue point and 2 seal point cats.
    I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your pups. Just love puppies.

    I suspect there are a few,not many. Residential covers a lot of territory these days, I know of several that started life as other things that are now residential.

    I already have a disability for it. While my hearing loss is significant, the major problem is tinnitus, which hearing aids don't help.

    Welcome to the club!

    But I think the masking noise is worse since my tinnitus is so loud to begin with!
