I am glad someone mentioned the issue with the stupid thermometer
announcing the damn temperature at inconvenient times of the morning.
That is why I took a sledge to my last one of these devices. For 13
bucks, I might buy another one just to smash it. *GRIN*

How does one get to the room, is it upstairs or downstairs?
Seriously, is there a link or something to take us there and do we need
passwords or special equipment to join in?

Yep, I have one of those gadgets. At least mine is far enough away from the
bedroom so it doesn't wake me, but it sure irritates me when it decides I need
to know the afternoon or evening temps. For crying outloud!

I have several cordless power tools but I'd like to find a small generator or

In a pinch you could get a 110 v or is it 120v inverter. This will hook up
to your car battery with alagator clips and they come in a variety of power
ratings. I don't know a lot about them but I do know that you hook it to the
car battery or cigarette lighter and it has a

I saw something at Frys that looked like it might do what you want. It is
marketed as a portable generator which is supposed to run tools among other
things. It runs off of a battery, which means you will need to charge it. It
has 2 110/120 volt plugs on the back. If memory serves, it comes in

Only 1 thing about those inverters. If you use the car battery to run it, you'd
better start the engine. Otherwise, you may find after using for a while, the
car won't start, in which case you better have access to an extra car and
jumper cables or a car battery charger. It's that discharging

It depends what you're using them for. You are going to need a pretty
strong battery because just using them will suck the life out of them and
those batteries are going to need a good re-charge.

you need to be a member of for-the-people. then after you join them, you will
have a password, and you need to pick a nick name, then you need a microphone

The inverter is not likely to give much power, 150 watts at the maximum.
Gasoline generators are made as small as 500 watts. They are about the size
of a small lawn mower.

Our farm house in Iowa had lightening rods. That house was torn down more
than 50 years ago. Our house in Kentucky doesn't have them. The house in
Iowa was on top of a hill. We likely needed them. Here were near the
bottom between two hills. Not needed as much. We've never had a direct
Hi Dale,
This old house, is a great show. Tom Silver is my cousin, and he is a
genius. He built the addition in my parents house back in 81. Not only that,
Tom was the best man in my parents wedding.
