Is your basement going to be finished? Sheldon?

I have heard of that type of basement construction, but never seen it done.

Canadien building codes could be a lot different...

That sucks. I was out with a broken down semi the other day at one of our busiest times of the day right in front of the truck stop and my alternator bit the dust. The whole thing shut down. Had to get a big wrecker for the semi and a roll-back for my Explorer.

As far as I can tell, you would use the same clearances and specs as any other basement, but you would "dig" a path in the styrofoam to run the wire. But I wasnt 100 percent sure.

Not sure if you guys would even have basements like that down there, probably no need for them!
Saw a neat trick to "dig" a path...
Take a ball bearing, pair of pliers and torch....hold the bearing with pliers and heat the bearing pretty good. Drop the bearing down the styrofoam where you need to run the wire. The bearing will eat its way down and create a channel!

Thanks Cris. I think Ash may have ordered on and is going to sneak it in because she keeps saying to wait.

Okay now I understand the name. I was wondering. Holland is Holland Taylor. (that is what happens when you don't have a name for a girl when your expecting a boy...you just give her names from a Texas map) I call her "Holl" she will come unglued if you call her Holly. Well until this week when she referred to herself as "Mustang Holly" Her dad is a Mustang collector. And my Ashley is always "Ash" but those are the only two I shortened.
I have seen sooo many videos of Alaskan cruises and they have always fascinated me. But who knows what tomorrow holds.
Sheldon your arms are like frikken sledgehammers. Its like the hulk but permanently miffed and not green

Hey how do you like your DP so far?

I experienced my first overboost yesterday. I hit 25 PSI and the truck defueled.

I guess its time for an overboost annihilator.

Don't buy the kit Lisa you can make one for much less. All you need is a small regulator, HF has them very inexpensive, and a couple of hose barbs.


Well J-L and I are off to dinner. She picked Chinese tonight. Melissa would you care to join us?
