My little sister has a small orchard on her property - 8 or 10 trees I think, maybe as many as 12 now. No idea what she grows, and some were there when they bought the place. I think one is a pear tree. She's got 2 boys & the new baby girl. The oldest could use some good long days of manual labor to wear him out.... maybe "Tio Loco" will become "Tio de Trabajo Duro" este verano

LOL.... It was my fault, Scott. I know, I know. NO POLITICS. I couldn't resist. I'm SOOOO frustrated with this guy's every move, it's driving me nutz. He campaigned on "change" and a "new" Washington, but here we have all this old blood (a bunch of them not paying taxes), and cutting spending. Someone PLEASE show me where the "change" & spending cuts are.... 
Sorry... It has been brought to my attention that I probably shouldn't be talking about this stuff. Back to your regularly scheduled OT.

Subject: BROKEN FENCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.......
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago another is from Tennessee and the third is from Minnesota.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys!
How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
"Done!" reply’s the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Got a question for Brent or anyone else that might know a way to do this...
My parents have 2 holes in the utility closet floor that the water heater and the central vac were located. One is slightly larger than 3/4 PVC where the WH drain from the pan went and the other is at least 2-3" in diameter where the central vac "plumbing" is still there. Its just the subflooring plus this vinyl woodgrain crap thats gotta come up anyways.
Anyone got any ideas on plugging those up solidly? Right now I have insulation just preventing any critters and cold from coming in. I was thinking about just oozing liquid nails down in the holes after I put something on the other side of the hole...
