i will be gone until monday,and the neighbor just told me our other neighbor was robbed at a house he has above us that nobody lives in,i guess they took alot of stuff like farm machinery,and the guy lives right next door.
my neighbor that told me about it lives across the road and said he will watch my house while im gone,this is why there is a 357 mag,beside my bed,heck we never had problems like this before,im in the country,and a couple of weeks ago there were people breaking into houses around here,thank goodness they caught those ones. well i have alot to do yet to get ready,see ya all later,john |

finally home,everything looks ok,and thanks bob.
lol ron thanks buddy. we had a good time but we had to rewire the pavillion that we had to plug into. when we plugged our campers into the new 30 amp recepticals they put in the pavillion,it blew our breakers,whoever wired them used double 30 amp breakers,so we had 220 volts into the campers. my brother in law eliminated the red lead,and that fixed it. im hoping that it didnt hurt the campers so far so good,i love camping but its good to be back home,john our camper and truck

John, you do your own rain gutters? No seamless? I got a quote on seamless and about fell off a cliff! Regular kind for me I guess...

i removed my gutters in pennsy many years ago, because of ice dam build-up. i had nice cocoa brown vinyl gutters and leaders that matched my window trim. for a few years i had heat cable attached to the shingles but removed it after hearing of a house that burned down because of faulty cable. ron

frank yep i do,i had the vinyl gutters up for 12 years,but they are junk,the rubber gaskets go bad in just a few years,so i went back to aluminum,i have half of them up,i worked last nite untill 9 pm,with a flash light,because i had stopped just above my window and had to take the car for inspection,we are getting rain now,i still have to put the downspouts in,but at least its not above the window,lol.
i agree ron i dont trust the heat cables.john |

So you'll have one from both sides of the peak right? I just can't see the back side, correct?
That's what I finally hope to do here this year, i.e., bury perforated pipe that will collect water coming downslope toward the house into a solid pipe system that will collect my rain gutter drains and take everything out back to a swale that feeds the wetlands out back. I hope... Frank |

well those cowardly crooks trid to break into an old trailer that my father in law owns,just 200 yeards from my house,no one lives in it,he bought the property and the trailer was already on it.
my wife and i were headed to go get me an m r i on my knee,and when we went past you can see a window broken out,then when steve came down with his pistol,we got a closer look,it looks like they tried to pry open one window and broke it,then must have tryed to break into a plexiglass window,it was broken but it looks like they didnt get inside,thank goodness,but this keeps up,some punk is going to get shot.john |

john, in the state of pennsy make sure he is on your property after he's shot. thats what a trooper told me years ago. i know of an incident where a guy shot someone stealin his car as he was pulling out of the driveway. car ended up on the road 20 ft. off his property. the shooter called police and backed up the car onto his driveway. guy was unconscious but didn't die.
