Many have heard of painting oneself into a corner, but yesterday, I had to do the inverse with drywall

So which house is this work being done at?

Do you still have the Westland one with the yard?

[flastron]

This is at Westland, it's the only house I work on these days.

Drywall is fascinating, but how was New York?

chassy is an excellent host. Also, doing things in the city isn't necessarily that much more expensive, it's just that you're constantly doing things.

Hmm... speaking of furnaces, I would like to pick your brain about replacing my gravity furnace with asbestos wrapped pipes....

Not that I would want you to do it, but I think you would have a lot of knowledge about such things.

I would imagine the gravity furnace would do a better job, I don't know why you would replace it with pipes, let alone asbestos-wrapped ones.

But seriously, I've been kinda privileged, a friend has a heating and cooling company out of lansing. When we replaced the furnace with the asbestos, we only took off the asbestos from the pipes that needed replacing, i.e. rusted out or near the interface with the old furnace. Then we just soaked the asbestos, and when it scrapes off it slops to the floor. The danger of asbestos is the fibers that get up in the air.

One word- efficiency. It costs a lot more to heat this place (only 950 square feet) with a gravity furnace... last year I was paying $130 a month- on a budget plan- so I was paying that year round, even in the summer.

It has dropped a little this winter because gas prices are not as high..

No no, it was a joke, that would put in asbestos-wrapped pipes in place of the gravity furnace. Cause of how it was written.

Is this thing on? Hello?
