Ringo…tell us more about your rafters. You don’t HAVE to insulate them. You can leave them exposed but the contractor is probably right about the heat loss.
Dave, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Germany pulls out of Euro and then the value get clobbered so I can go on vaca to Greece, Portugal and Spain. It used to be sooooo cheap to go there. Who care about visiting Germany and France anyways.

cmu, the volume of wood growth in new growth vs. old growth I get directly from foresters. You can probably look it up somewhere. But that is just a sideshow — even if it weren’t true (which it is) the point of sequestering wood before it rots and releases carbon is still completelty self-sufficient as an argument for clearcutting old growth forests and sequestering the wood before it rots (and letting new growth develop).
This isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about saving the planet. Which one matters more to you? Nah don’t answer, I think we already know.
Impractical??? Do you disagree with the science (which is irrefutable) or the practicality? If the only remaining challenge is to find a way to sequester wood permanently, do you really think that a race of beings that can go to the moon can’t figure that out?
Phillies fan gets tased. I know there are warnings not to go on the playing field, but I still smell a potential lawsuit.
Excessive force?

“go to Sears and get a good Craftsman set.”
I forgot about Sears!
I was just looking at home depot site and they didn’t have much.
I’ll go to the Sears in the ghetto, Brooklyn.
Thanks!
Ringo, is this for your upstate house? You’re still looking in Brooklyn, right?

Greece 2010 = Thailand 1997. SP500 corrected 10% in 1997 while the Thai Baht went from 25 to 50.
Everyone just wished that greece was still on Drachmas so they could go in and scoop up a nice Mykonos place!!!!
$550!?!?!?!?!? For Tools.
