Perfect position, never have to use a mower again. :-)
Wonder how much his flood insurance costs him....
If the St. Lawrence ever floods all of us will be wondering about our flood insurance.Quote:

I wonder if the basement stays dry...
How do they flush a toilet? Just dump it into the river?
No, rephrase that...just dump in the river.Quote:

The property featured in this thread is a novelty place, it's not a residence, there's a floor drain in the basement that has a cap on it, it makes a gurgling noise.
Don't tell the morons in the current administration about the propane or natural gas incineration toilets or they will want to try and ban them, better yet don't tell them about any of them or Thye will want to ban water flush toilets.Quote:

That whole ban gas stoves issue is not your "current administration" it is related to an ages old report from the independent body the U.S. Product Safety Commission that points out (and has so for decades) there are health hazards (undisputable when you burn natural gas in an enclosed environment and don't have a hood fan or don't use it) that is a fact, also a fact is that your "current administration" has no intention of banning the appliances it is right wing media and GOP hype.Quote:

This is one of those subjects that can escalate into outright feuds, Everyone knows what needs to be done with both parties but no one seems willing to step up and slip a burdizzo around the parts that need removing right above the shoulders on most of them. it is also not a topic that needs to be delved in here as much as I am guilty as often being the instigator in topic strayingQuote:

I qualified with "with the fumes at least".Quote:

Jeepers, enjoy that rabbit hole, you are on your own.
It appears the media has succeeded again. A ban was merely mentioned as one response to a report that hasn't even been fully investigated yet. The words ban on gas appliances was picked up as fact and the proceeding movement toward one. There wasn't even time to get half way to half-cocked before it became a national crisis... Sad.
Never let a crisis go to waste even the invented ones they are used almost exclusively to sway the minds of the less informed to create a panic and as a means of directing people's attention away from more important matters looming in the wings, the powers that be do not want to be in the public's eye.Quote:
