Virtually all of the big predators in the US are protected most places including alligators, American crocs, bears and mountain lions. When they figured out alligators were doing just fine they opened up a limited hunting season on them by permit only and they hunt the bears and mountain lions in some states but not most. They call a mountain lion a Florida Panther here and it is "endangered" meaning it has the highest level of protection. We are over run with black bears too and you can't harm them either. If Zimmerman had shot a "panther" he would have really been in trouble. I really don't see the point in protecting such vicious animals. FFS you can keep them in zoos if you really must. Most of them aren't all that vicious. Black bears and lions aren't protected in this state. I meet them in the woods, bears fairly frequently and cats less so, and there has never been any bloodshed. They belong there and I like seeing them around. Same with alligators. I've paddled through the Okefenokee Swamp and the place is overrun with gators; no problem. The damn raccoons were more of a nuisance. |

Ebay is much cheaper for everything and has more stuff available, and you can tell where it's coming from, and they tell you what the shipping cost is.

A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives you a false sense of security when you're actually being screwed. |

Even if the heat isn't off plumbing in a crawl space can freeze. You've obviously never spent quality time laying on your back with a propane torch trying to get the water going without burning down the ****ing shack. We don't get 0F in Scotland. If you do, you really ought to insulate better. What annoys me is the way that under the floor is vented to the outside! WTF? Vent it to the inside, then it stays warmer and dryer. As long as you have that crawl space well insulated that works OK but you will end up with a higher heat bill. Down here in Florida they will backfill that stem wall with dirt and pour the slab over it. Problem solved. A "crawl space" with no floor, vented to the living space, would cause a lot of humidity problems in many places (particularly florida). Even "basements" with concrete floors can be damp if not either vented or conditioned. Why not vent it to the house, then you get warm dry air into the space instead of cold damp air! Put the insulation between the space and outdoors. You vent the crawlspace and insulate the floor of the living space (between the floor joists) and you don't have heat loss issues. Keep the water lines on the "warm" side of the insulation.. "On Slab" works good in Florida where anything resembling a basement is liable to become an indoor swimming pool Sump pumps work wonders. And I though Florida was dry? - up here in the higher elevations and more temperate to cold regions, full basements are the rule rather thanthe exception - almost always conditioned and used as extra living /utility space. Furnace in the attic? Not up here. It's in the "basement" - generally along with laundry and a "rec room" - often an additional bathroom,- and sometimes even a bedroom or 2. My "furnace" (ROTFPMSL) is in the kitchen. It runs on natural gas (methane) piped in. It's almost silent, as the pump is in the attic. I occasionally hear it lighting the gas, but once it's burning, no sound at all. Modern ones make a ****ing racket with the pump inside them - stupid idea.

The "window well" in a basement does not provide enough clear space to call that an egress so you need a door to the outside in the bedroom(s).. |

My friend The Penguin has a dog named Lexi who's a psychotic beagle. She's also a cutie. From watching all of the SciFi shows, I find it a bit amusing that most of the humans and aliens in outer space are Canadians. ^_^ It took me a while to realize that Lexi is Nissa's evil half sister in 'The Arrow'. If you haven't noticed most shows are populated by Canadians, Brits, and Aussies. I mean there isn't an American actor good enough to lead a biker gang and they had to import Hunnan? Michael Madsen even had practice with his role in 'Beyond The Law' altohugh he might have been a little old for the part. otoh, I enjoyed 'Flashpoint', but that was set in Toronto and had a Canadian cast being Canadians. iirc, they did eventually use a Yank actress although there was some discussion about outsourcing. Look at Longmire. You've got an Aussie Wyoming sheriff and a Filipino Cheyenne... At least Sackhoff is USDA Prime. |

I thought most actors in American shows were Canadians because Americans are too thick to act. Canadians act for Loonies; Americans want real money. |

Not exactly. It's cheaper to produce TV shows in Vancouver which is up the coast from Californiastan. I imagine it's still close enough for American actors to travel without too much trouble to make it to acting jobs. ^_^ I'm having a senior moment but there was one cop show that was set in LA but filmed in Vancouver. Other than hanging a banner that said 'Port of Long Beach' on a warehouse they made absolutely no attempt to disguise Vancouver right down to showing a map of Vancouver when they were tracking a suspect. I mean even Justified edited the orange groves out of Arlo's Kentucky home and 'Sons of anarchy' did a lot of colorization to make a southern California highway look like Ireland. |

Vent it to the inside, then it stays warmer and dryer. Warmer maybe but it tends to turn into a swamp. No, heat reduces RH. Unless it's well insulated, which most crawl spaces aren't, the warm, moist air condenses on the cold walls. |
