Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted May 11, 2004 Members Share Posted May 11, 2004 Two garage doors to the side of our home..... :D Wooden garage doors or painted steel garage doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted May 12, 2004 Members Share Posted May 12, 2004 [quote] ... painted steel garage doors? [/quote] Yup, painted steel (sheet metal, formed, pressed and embossed to look like real wood), and with an elastomeric polymer fill for insulation, air-cushioned gasket on the bottom, tight seals around the top, sides and joints, and a high-quality installation. :D :D We just got this as a replacement for our old door, and we saved [b][i]a bundle on heating fuel this past winter.[/i][/b] As a matter of fact the savings in heat actually more than paid for the door. :D Windows in your garage door :frog -- or-- No windows at all in the door :D .

Members pneu-engine Posted May 13, 2004 Members Share Posted May 13, 2004 [quote] Drain hole in the floor of your garage or not? [/quote] We call that a French drain, and no, I don't want one. Instead, try this. Give the concrete floor a gentle slope (about a sixteenth of an inch per foot) towards the door, and the water that comes into your garage will drain out. Heated garage or not?

[/quote] They make excellent apple jelly, but even better spiced and pickled apples. Now that is a confection that is just out of this world. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Blue spruce for landscaping, but white pine for the forest or wood-lot.

There are several trees growing in this area.....not a forested woodlot, but the next best.... :D The wildlife here is wonderful to watch!! Wild rabbit for dinner or tame rabbit?

Members pneu-engine Posted May 20, 2004 Members Share Posted May 20, 2004 Wild rabbit, by all means. I just love that wild gamey taste. If you like wild rabbit, then you'll really like Ground-hog, aka whistle-pig, aka marmot. It tastes just like rabbit, just a whole lot more of it. (It has to be soaked in strong salt-brine solution for twice the length of time as a rabbit though. 48 hours instead of 24. Change the brine solution at the 24 hour point). Comparing rabbit to groundhog is like comparing a chicken to a turkey. Wild Turkey, roasted --or-- Domesticated turkey, roasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
