Wouldn't happen to have any pictures would you? What is supporting the as you put it "loosely fitted sub-floor" and what did they use for framing and sheating materials? Is there any outlets and if so GFCI? How about penetrations through the foundation walls or floors. any drains. Really need some pic's.

Tossing hay bales, what fun. Yesterday we finished tossing 1208 square bales. I was helping my neighbor and his wife. We had some off and on help this week, but mainly it was just us three. Taking a break today. A lot of sunburn and the ever present hay rash in full blown experience here. If the rain holds off, tomorrow we are going to go load up 400 or so square straw bales. Anybody want to help? They get stacked on a 35 foot gooseneck trailer 8 high. The tractor runs in granny low also. One person on the trailer and everybody else on the ground. Growing up we were always told it was character and discipline building to do it. Now of course, we have better explanations. But teenagers and young adults are too lazy to do this anymore, even for money. Heck, I am not even getting paid. I am just helping out.

Yea, I thought the price was exceedingly high. I was looking around on some firefighter equipment sites and they were between $900 and $1200. Thats a lot of money, anytime and especially now in a down economy.

Where did you get it? Do you have a link for the detector?

Nice. I was the first from the Great State of Kansas!

You can include me. No car auctions or car buying anytime in my future. And a full gas tank, whats that? I never fill any of ours over half full, but then again, everything own has at least a 25 gallon tank on it. Although, gas is down to $3.31 now.

Thanks for the heads up. I got registered.

Hi Mike, not exactly a code citation number. But attached here are 2 pages out of Code Check Complete, pages 152 and 153. On page 152 in the second paragraph it begins to go into detail on this and is completed on page 153.

Also, newer installations require regulators at the tank and edge of house prior to penetration.

Also remember, propane is heavier than natural gas and should not be used in an appliance where the floor level is below grade. If there is a leak, the gas will fill the lower level like water until it reaches a flame then danger of explosion exists. Propane tanks less than 100 gallons can be next to a house. Propane tanks 100 to 500 gallons must be 15 feet or more from home Propane tanks of 1000 gallons or more must be 30 feet from the home

I use AllRecalls here on the Iphone

Not sure if it's available for Android phones, but you can check. On my iPhone I downloaded and installed an app for recalls.

Hey Kevin if ya could, what agency do you use. If ya prfer you can PM me the info. It would help here a lot.

These guys are insane, they don't even tie off. I don't care if it made the climb take longer or not. As a teenager we snuck in and climbed a 400 foot cable tv tower. Took forever to get up there. Spooky stuff, didn't expect the tower to be swaying at the top. And those red lights on there are a lot brighter in person than what you think.

MS Streets on my laptop with a GPS receiver. I had a Garmin once, my laptop 15" screen sure beats eye strain from a 3.5" screen. Those little screens make you look at them more, taking your eyes off the road. The laptop screen you can see with your peripheral vision. On top of that, if I am going someplace I rarely if ever go I study the maps. A working knowledge of what is where and where you need to be goes a long way. Also, MS Streets has every gas station, places to gt food, including grocery stores, and more that any GPS ever thought of.

Many years ago one of my first jobs as a teenager was working in a hardware store. Thw standing rule at the time from the owner was we would inform customers buying ladders never to exceed 75% of the weight rating of any ladder. I have stuck with that advice for 30 years now and never had a ladder collapse on me. I also have a Telesteps Model 1205, that is a year old and the big Little Giant. My Telesteps is for indoor use only and then only for getting into attic areas. To get to the roof I use the Little Giant exclusively, the only time it ever see's the interior of the home is if it is an older home with the higher ceilings. My wife, refuses to climb the Telesteps, she is afraid of the sag. Me too, but it sure is handy and easy to carry inside a house. I have seen these telescopic ladders fail and it isn't a pretty sight. Before coming to this business I was in law enforcement. These types of ladders have been in use in the law enforcement community tactical teams for years, although they are much heavier duty. But they do fail. The more moving parts there are on anything, the greater risk of failure. Best advice is don't abuse them first of all, maintain a regular maintenance and inspection schedule of the ladder, and don't exceed that 75% weight rule. Especially important also is setting the ladder up with the greatest angle of attack as possible. The lower the angle you set these things to, the lower weight rating they have.

Thanks for the heads up Randy, free is good.

Nice car, but I don't think I would let it sit very long with the top down in that area. Unless that is you have a leaf blower handy.
