    Morning all:
    Welcome Crawdaddy! A signpainter for 40 yrs.; that should make you eligible for the porch.
    I have a buddy that is a sign painter, but when it comes to anything mechanical :facepalm:. I Call him: Dennis the mechanical menace! :D
    I just keep locking myself out of the house. :eek:
    Hope I don't forget where the hidden key is!
    BUT: It does look like I forgot to send in a tax return for 2011, had it done and sent the tax due, but never filed the return. :( Senior moment?

    Morning Carl, I have gotten into the habit of putting everything in the same place all the time so I know where it's at. If I don't, it's oops senior moment time. I try to get the missus to do it but she still runs around looking for this and that[​IMG]. Tax return time is why I got an accountant to handle mine. He sends it to me with those "sign here" stickies and pre-addressed envelopes. They get signed and sent right back out. Makes my life easy.

    Welcome Robert:

    Tom; sounds like the fans are working out for you. Hopefully they will take care of the problem. As posted the mat will hold the moisture way more than the carpet itself. Hopefully you're good to go.

    Carl:
    I have a GC, that I trust, stopping by tomorrow morning and she will let me know if I need to do any drywall work. The way the leak was aimed it was hitting a plastic hand hole cover and not the drywall. The drywall did get wet but dried up and is still very hard and sturdy. Also there is no discernible odor in the living room. The HD fans worked like a champ. Even the latex on the back of the carpet is very tight with no flaking.


    Forgot to add that I just finished washing the Tacoma. Hands are frozen.

    Study Finds Firearms May Be Inanimate Objects

    by Jack "Guns" McGee · January 23, 2014
    A scientific study that concluded the day before Christmas Eve found that guns may actually be inanimate objects with no will of their own. The highly controversial results were published today in Scientific Log, a leading journal in the scientific community, and has already drawn disbelief and criticism from top gun control proponents.
    [​IMG]
    The study placed a collection of 240 firearms in a large room outfitted with a bulletproof observation window which allowed the scientists to monitor the firearms 24/7 for over four months. The collection of firearms included assault rifles, semi automatic pistols, hunting rifles, and BB guns while the control group, housed in another similar room, consisted of comically proportioned wooden dummy guns. The room was filled with cardboard cutouts of people, animals, and inanimate objects like cars and movie theaters to see which victims certain guns were likely to target.
    The study was intended to provide data for future firearm restrictions in the state of New York and was to be used to decide which firearms to make wildly illegal.
    The results, however, took an odd turn says Bob Clementine, the lead researcher and grant manager of the project. “We found very similar results with the most evil looking gun as we did with the funny looking dummy guns. A gun, regardless of it’s type, appears, by all scientific and measurable standards, to be inanimate and doesn’t seem to be capable of evil or good.” He says the only action recorded in the room were the oxidation of metal and dust gathering, both of which pose no threat to human lives and is “incredibly boring to watch.”
    The research group has come up with several likely possibilities as to why the guns didn’t react violently to the cardboard cutouts. Clementine says that guns may require an outside force to make them shoot but more likely, he says, it’s because the guns didn’t sense any fear. “Guns feed on fear and panic,” he says, “and cardboard generally doesn’t exhibit any of those emotions.” He adds that more research, along with more big ticket federally funded grants, will be required to reach any definite conclusion.

    There is no discoloration to the wall paint so I do not even have to paint. If there is no more work that needs to be completed I told my wife if she wants to make a donation to her school we would be able to do so.


    My wife teaches in the Archdiocese of Washington at a PreK through 8th Grade. She is the 8th Grade homeroom teacher. The school Principal will put the donation to good use.
