The corollary is that SWMBA will work twice as diligently to keep space from becoming filled as the space fills. A balance is maintained until either the space expands/declines or SWMBA tosses in the towel. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 29, 2018, at 1:25 PM, Dan Penoff via

Great! The expandable boots seem to be quite popular these days, so I wouldn’t think you’ll have too much trouble finding someone who’s got the tool. Offer them $20 to do the set and I’m betting they’ll be happy to. -D > On Nov 29, 2018, at 6:09 PM, Michael Esh via Mercedes > wrote: > >

This is Dan’s Law. Dan’s Law states that: “The amount of stuff you accumulate will always expand to exceed the available space.” I have yet to prove it wrong, sort of. There should be some sort of time constant in there, too. When I had a nearly 4,000 SF house I was rapidly approaching the

The pneumatic “boot stretcher” is around $150, I think. You’ve also got to use the correct type of boot, too, as the stock boots won’t stretch that much. It’s nice to have the right tool for the job, but I couldn’t justify it. -D > On Nov 29, 2018, at 11:50 AM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes >
