Evening Charles

CS> JE> My two sons and son-in-law came over the other day and had a garage
CS> JE> cleaning. I didn't realize just how much "stuff" I had accumulated in
my
CS> JE> 2 car garage. Haven't been able to get the 2nd car in for years. Of
CS> JE> course with the 3/4 ton long bed PU it wouldn't fit anyway, so we never
CS> JE> really noticed how bad the accumulation really was. My youngest son
took
CS> JE> it FULL to the dump - cost me $47.00!!! I still have to get rid of two
CS> JE> folding tables and then I'll be able to get the Mazda mini van in.

CS>Too bad you're not closer to me.  Sounds like you had some good donations
that
CS>could have gone to our ministry.  We could always use more folding tables.

You misunderstood. No folding tables are going away from family. One is
my sons and  the other is mine - I think I will just fold it up and
store it away in order to prevent things from accumulating on its top.

CS> JE> Next project is my 12x20 shed in the back yard. Then comes my computer
CS> JE> room. I have ben wanting to completely rearrange if for several years.
I
CS> JE> built a computer for a friend that makes cabinets a couple years ago.
He
CS> JE> has been pestering me ever since to let him build a computer hutch of
my
CS> JE> design. Guess I had better take him up on it.

CS>Lucky you. :)  Have you priced good computer hutches at your local furniture
CS>store lately?  I was in the market for one several years ago until I saw
what
CS>the going price was for one that I liked.  Would you believe over $1000.00! 
I
CS>decided to keep my old reliable Sears executive desk instead.

Right now I am using an old executive office desk also.

CS> CS>> Yes, it sure does.  BTW, where have you been?  Thought maybe you had
CS> CS>> left on vacation with your travel trailer and gone off somewhere. 
Been
CS> CS>> fairly busy myself with the ministry.  Finally got the children's area
CS> CS>> fixed up with a new air conditioner.  The hardest part of the
CS> CS>> installation was running a 240V line from the ancient box outside of
the
CS> CS>> building to where we put the new unit.

CS> JE> Running new electrical service in an older building can get to be quite
CS> JE> a chore! In an older building, sometimes the best way is to run a
CS> JE> conduit outside of the building to the desired location.

CS>That's what we did.  We ran metal encased 12/3 romex from the box through an
CS>already existing opening in the building outer wall to where we installed
the
CS>air unit.  The real challenge was finding a double 30 amp breaker unit to
fit
CS>in the old box.  The breaker type used in that box is at least 35 years old.
CS>Since we are leasing we did not want to go the cost of replacing the entire
box
CS>with a new one and breakers. That would have cost well over $500.00.

Everything is outrageous now days. The contacter in my AC compressor
unit stuck. The AC repairman charged me not only the $50.00 service
call, but a $10.oo fuel charge and then $125.00 for a new contactor. That
last bit really ticked me off, cause I know the contactor should be only
$25-$50.
