I've got a cast iron radiator sitting on my porch now.  I won't miss it
much,, but I'd rather choose the disposition myself.
 
Any neighbor interested in a claw-foot tub in reasonably good condition, or
the radiator, send me email?

My neighbor is doing a gut-level renovation of his house.  He's been robbed
twice in the past few months, with the copper pipes being the apparent
target.  

If his new alarm system fails, then I'll send him to Diller....

Happy voting,
D.

Interesting -- I know that prices for all metal as scrap are higher than 
they have been--demand is up.  This is the first I've heard, besides the
missing sewer covers, of this manifesting itself in theft.

Keep an eye on your downspouts, etc, folks!

This has not been a fun morning...

Woke up, and my toilet wouldn't flush.  No water in the bathroom. 
Went down to the basement to check for a leak.  Water all over the basement
floor.  Not coming from a pipe...  Coming in through the wall at ground
level (not a break in my line to the water main, that's below ground). 

Figure that someone used my hose bib and didn't turn it off.  Go outside to
check it out.  No water under the hose bib, but there's some water under the
porch.

Look under the porch....

Someone had stolen the copper pipe running from my basement to the hose bib
(and the hose bibalong with it).  The pipe was cut about 3 feet from the
house wall, and water was pouring out.

I reported it to the police.  I guess I'll report ti to UCD, also. 

I guess installing a porch lattice is now a higher priority, maybe steel
reinforced.
