Remove door skin. See that both motor terminals have +12V on them

There are Aladdin kerosene lamps that are really nice for a silent light (and

Lots of emotional appeal to wick lanterns and nothing beats a Coleman-style

True, but consider that it would be isolated to the area where the fire was,
and not the rest of the house. Believe it or not, insurers give some hefty

Yes, it is. Any time you can bring your home up to current hurricane codes you
realize significant savings. Our house was built right around the time that
existing codes were updated, so when we bought it we insisted and paid for
what’s known as a “wind mitigation inspection”. Essentially, it
