    Tankless Hot Water Heater

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    Hot water tank sh_t the bed this weekend. I am thinking of installing a tankless system.

     

    Has anyone tried this? Are you happy with the results?

     

     

    I have one. Never had a problem with it, and never had to wait any longer than I did with a tank for hot water. Pretty cool technology and really space efficient as well.

    Guess Who I Saw Today

    My wife and I went to the Renaissance Faire in southern California today and saw no sh*t the Pixie Fairy himself. For those of you.....sorry us, who have been tricked into linking to Pixyland and have had our toes curl at what we saw will know what I mean.

     

    We were at a stage watching some "wenches" doing a skit when a guy dressed as Peter Pan walked by. I though, "oh my f@#$ing God........it's him." Luckily my wife saw him and I asked her if she had ever seen Pixyland.com and she said no. I explained the site to her and the relevance to this message board and when we got home I showed the site to her. And her response was............"yup, that was him." A Renaissance faire is the only place someone like him can dress like that in public. What a freak. And for those of you not in the know, I present to you................ The Pixie Fairy

    Pillows

    18 months sounds about right. I try to change my feather/down pillows every year. Since I am now broke, I just buy a bunch of the cheap ones. (When I had $$, it was pure down for me.)

     

    I cannot stand any other kind of pillow, except for the memory foam. They are OK, but can get pretty warm, for a pillow.

     

    You know when it's time for a new pillow when you turn your pillow and Billy Dee Williams is on the other side.

    My yard is like a swamp

    I know we'll have at least another freeze before "Spring", but right now, my yard is like a swamp. The fact that it is also my dogs restroom and its impossible to not miss a pile here and there its !@#$ing gross. Is there anything I can do? IS there a product I can use to dry the yard up? I have no standing water, just the ground is like mush.

     

    Ideas?

     

    You're gonna have to lay drainage pipes that let out into your neigbors yard ... sureptisiously (sp?) of course.

    So What Will You Be Doing During Earth Hour

    Earth Hour

     

     

     

    Copenhagen's doing it. So are Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane and Tel Aviv.

     

    Now a Scio Township woman is hoping Ann Arbor joins the number of international cities in Earth Hour 2008.

     

    During that hour - 8-9 p.m. Saturday - people will turn off all unnecessary lights to spread the message about global warming.

     

    "We hope to increase people's awareness of global warming and how each one of us is actually responsible and can make a difference," said Robin Kahler, who lives in Touchstone Cohousing.

     

    Earth Hour started last year in Sydney, Australia, when two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights for one hour. Now the idea is spreading around the world, with endorsements from organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund.

     

    Mike Garfield, executive director of the Ecology Center in Ann Arbor, said Earth Hour is great theater if it's done on a large scale. He said it had a huge impact last year in Australia.

     

    "The first thing is that an event like Earth Hour shows the world how much of an impact an individual has the environment," he said. "To see the aerial photographs of cities lit up at night all of a sudden going dark almost has the impact of seeing the Earth from outer space."

     

    So what will you be doing between 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

     

     

    I'm a gonna tetch myself

    Gas Prices

    You'd have to save approximately $4000-$7000 to make up the price difference over the Corolla.

     

    Perhaps, but since I paid cash in full, 3 years ago, all I'm concerned with (well ... not really) is gas price. It's very much like that commercial, where the driver forgets which side his tank is on. <_<

    I commute back and forth to Rochester every day. I use about a 1/2 tank a day. (140 miles round trip) I have an older vehicle, but it's in top running order. (Son's a Mechanic). The price I pay a week is starting to back me up on other bills. I may have a chance to return to the buffalo office, but until then, OUCH!! <_< <_<

     

     

    What are these "gas prices" that you speak of? I drive a Prius ...... SUCKAFOOLS! <_<:blink::lol:

    I believe the only place that you do not need reservations for is Camp Blood on Crystal Lake. In fact, I hear that there are vacancies opening up all the time so you are in luck!

     

     

    OK damn it. Your avatar is just freaking me the hell out. what's the story?
