Nice! I'm assuming it's not a 7.3 member? Haven't heard about any of us that close to ya.....
I have talked to Jeremy about this.....I definitely think Schaeffers is higher quality then Rotella, but I can only get it that cheap if I order $350 worth, and Rotella is sold locally. My closest rep is about a 4 1/2hr drive for Schaeffers

I'd generally agree.... but if I could afford it, I'd love an old southern-style plantation house. Cars & trucks are easy to replace if you don't like them, but a house.... not so much.
My mom still, 30yrs later, wishes to some degree that they'd have bought a different house.

My Mom's highschool friend rented a plantation style home in west virginia...she had 5 kids and it was a 5 bedroom....the hallways were prolly 15 feet wide and T shaped off the front door...I think the kitchen was 30' square and lined with cabinets...huge dining room, a formal livingroom and a family room...it only had one bathroom...it was on the second floor...the attic was wide open...and had to be over 2500 sq ft...like I said, this place was huge...and had a 12' wide porch on 3 sides...they moved after the first winter...heating bills were near 500 a month...in the early 80's

I had a 1930's house in Denver and my winter heating bills were really low. Had I more time there I would have insulated that house to the hilt.

We actually found a company to do an energy efficiency test on our home, and he did this one suction test, showed us every little air leak in the house, and we were able to cut our heating bill down quite abit by just following their advice.
We put new siding on about 3 days before the guy came out, and he told us there was a government grant available that would have paid for new siding (this particular kind i think) and to put styrofoam sheets underneath. D'oh!

I love insulation. I just ain't gonna put it in a house that I don't own. I have built a lot of houses in Alaska with 12" walls. My own dream house, 3500 square feet of ranch house, with even the garage heated, my worse gas bill all the years I lived in it was 192 bucks, and that was just outside Buffalo. In the '90's.

Besides, if I realize the goal of installing a corn furnace, and growing my own corn, utilities will be FREE.

Well I had a whole list of posts to reply too and my d@mn computer locked up, and I dont think I wanna go back through the eleven(40 post) pages to make the reply's.
Man, I go out parting one night and get all hammered and I return to all of this commotion...WOW. I'm not a supporter but visit this place often(daily) and I would like to see it stay here in this forum,or at the least a link to it.
The one post I do remember wanting to reply to was Tristans picture of the girl in the bikini. I see nothing wrong with the picture what so ever....other than I'm not in it!
