    Oh...


    I don't think I updated about Customs...


    I got a call yesterday. They don't like my medical history. Odds of me getting accepted are slim. 5% chance of getting in. At best.

    I sure have! I've actually drawn up several. I went so far as to get dimensions of all the furniture (fridge, stove, bed, etc) and draw up a scaled version of my home. I'll get pics later.

    I have also been thinking about recirculating hot water from the water heater through the floor. Heated floor (my feet are always ice cold), passive heat in colder climates, hot water battery.
