The Happy thread!

le sigh...I wish I could go to tropical destinations. alas, my wife's health doesn't allow for it, but more-so, we're anchored down with our responsibilities in caring for her parents. that's not a complaint, I knew this was going to happen and have no resentment, but it makes going out anywhere extremely difficult and usually only one at a time as someone has to be here to make sure they're safe n sound.

I have always wanted to go to Australia...and go for more than just a week or two. I'd want to tour the whole damned country and spend a week or two of that time in the middle of nowhere darkness so I can look at the southern night skies!
 
I wish your wife's health will improve and that one day you will be able to enjoy some trips like this together.

Caring for her parents is no easy task, and for that, kudo, respect. Both of you merited your heaven.

thanks. a lot of people...even the doctors, are surprised that we haven't put her mom into a facility. we both see that as kinda sad...that as soon as your loved one is an inconvenience, you dump them on someone else. now I get there are going to be situations and circumstances that has to happen...but a vast many of them don't. they took care of you for 18+ years...it is fair to expect someone's children would then take care of them, for a fraction of the time they did you.
 
I borrowed a Festool TS 55 track saw from work to cut some dricore underlayment in the basement bathroom. Is that ever a nice tool. I could have carried everything up to my workshop and cut them on my table saw or bandsaw, but being able to cut straight lines in the room I was working in saved me half the time and 20-ish trips up and down the stairs. I set the depth stop properly on the first piece and was able to cut them on top of other pieces without cutting into the bottom piece.

It's a $1000 plus tool but worth every penny. We use it at work to cut Prodema and other composite panels occasionally. I wish I could keep it but being able to borrow it now and then is good enough.

how long until you get hydro / gas bills to see what kind of savings are being made?

also...being LG, it will die the day after the warranty expires and it'll be a discontinued model so no replacement parts available. :p

We'll get a bill with usage at the end of the month, but it's almost impossible to compare one year to the next based on just a single month. The usage graph compares the last 3 years, but only has this year's monthly average temp.

As far as the warranty goes.... we're planning on selling/moving in one or two years so it'll be somebody else's problem. :)

Wasn't for the full month of feb, but so far the results are encouraging with last year's daily being 119 kWh and this years was 100 kWh. That is a fairly significant difference and we had some really cold snaps during the month this year.
