That looks like a pretty good one.

I would like to reccomend NEVER buying anything like this from a company called Oregon Scientific. I bought something similar to this a few years ago. It worked great for about 2 weeks, then went completly haywire. Cheap Chinese crap......this was before I started checking carefully before I purchase. Still under warranty, I gave them a call...got the runaround of course. I called them every week or two for about 6 months...talked to ceveral people... ....Long story short, they outlasted me and I chalked it up to a learning experience that cost me $75 or so.

My rant for the day.

 

Morning rain and some wind gusts. Clouds moving fast saw the moon a few times on the way in to work.

 

Good morning Andy and those to follow.
Too much cloud cover to see the moon here.

 

Good morning Chris ,Andy and Oregon..

 

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Neighbor down the road had a chimney fire early in the morning so there went sleeping much after 0330.
Just to add insult to injury the ducks aren't flying, it was raining cats and dogs and now that I'm home from the duck pond out at the farm, it has quit raining and the sun is shining! Looking at the huge banks of clouds just to the west, I don't think the sun is going to last too long.

I've been looking at that one at Costco in Salem. Lowe's does carry them, but they want something like $30 more for the same one and Wally World is about the same as Lowe's.

One reason I haven't gotten the one you linked is that AcuRite is who made the one I have. I have to replace the two AA batteries in the outside remote every 2 to 4 days, depending on outside temps. It also is always 10+ degrees high on the outside temp.
When I contacted AcuRite and they were p%*s poor on customer service. Wouldn't send a new sensor or outside remote or do anything other to tell me to make sure I was using high quality alkaline batteries.

The station we bought for the folks at the farm at the same time, the batteries will last about 2 weeks in the outside remote.

How long do the batteries last in the model you have and how accurate is it?

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Good morning Evan. Had to come back inside. Sun is gone, nasty gray clouds back, wind blowing and rain coming down almost sideways.

 

Good evening Ford Fans'. Back from our monthly supply mission.


We have this one about 6 months, have not replaced batteries yet.
The temps are close to what other thermometers are reading, wind is off cause of location. I wounder about the rain, I have looked up an other rain gauge near me and it reads pretty close.

 

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Weather was pretty lousy today.

Warden drug me out on about a hundred miles worth of driving to two different Lowe's and Costco looking at Refrigerator, Ranges, Dishwasher and new flooring for the Kitchen. Dishwasher is going to be a virgin install so the wiring, plumbing, demo of something in the kitchen counter....yikes!


I'm feeling drained and like I might need a good bankruptcy attorney, and we haven't even bought anything for the kitchen floor yet.

 

I made a run to Lowes and Parr Lumber today for some more fence materials. We're already looking at wood flooring to install sometime after Christmas. This cheap carpet the builder put in is driving us nuts. I think we are going with bamboo because it looks nice and is very durable.

 

For about a week I've been having to deal with stupid people. Some are related to my wife....some are trying to buy my Mom's house that I have for sale. It's going on Wednesday, and the new week didn't change anything. I'm grumpy.
However tomorrow is a new day and I'm pretty sure these people will surpass themselves.
Other than that, all is well. No one is blocking the roads here!

Happy Wednesday

 

Bamboo would be top on my list, and we looked at some tonight, but I'm not sure we aren't going to have some clearance problems. Probably going to pickup a sample piece tomorrow. We may just have to go with linoleum, which is what is in there. The door from kitchen into the mud/utility room already has near zero clearance and will definitely need some trimming if we go with the bamboo pergo syle stuff.
My cousin did his entire living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway in bamboo. Looked really sharp!

 

Morning to all. My vote is for Bamboo. We plan on doing it in the whole house minus bathrooms when the kids leave. I'm figuring about a $40k remodel at that time the flooring will be a good chunk of that since we have 2100 square feet. Will remodel one of the bathrooms and the kitchen and take out one bedroom to increase the size of two others and a new stairway to the daylight basement.

 

Good morning Andy and those to follow.
Hump-day the week is half done.

 

Good morning everyone.

Our plan is to put bamboo in the great room, master, kitchen, dining areas, and hallways. We will leave carpet in the kids' rooms and guest room. The bathrooms have very good quality linoleum that actually looks like real tile that we like, so that will stay.
