RSI, Thanks Im glad you brought it up, I don't have a meter, will try to borrow one, but just a little with the numbers. My 90 yr old Dad has always said "liers figure but figures NEVER lie. I paid $ 45.00 for it 35 years ago, =  $1.29/yr.
I remember when we bought it, a used unit,  clean and in good working order was about $150, new $250, neither of which we had. If every 5 yrs. we had bought a good used unit at $150 x 7 = $1050/35= $30/yr. these numbers are extremely conservative Coolidge quoted $1800 for a new one. It lookes as though it might be a push, I'm sure that the cost of operation is signifcantly higher than the yearly cost. I'm not an electical power kind of guy but what would the monthly cost of operation on a newer unit be?

Well, I know this will be hard to believe, the 1927 model GE fridge died about 2 weeks ago. On a whim my bride had a guy come and look at it. Said he'd never seen anything like it. (young guy) but he would see what he could find out. Now the hard to believe part. He said that he found a manual for it online, and a company some where in New York, that that has parts and will repair the compressor if need be. He said that the original lead wire seal was still on the metal box that contains a start relay. He ordered the relay. Delivery about 2 weeks. I'll keep y'all posted. Will send pics if I can figure out how to do it.

 I read somewhere that there was enough equiptment (small arms ammo rpgs ect) in Lybia to equip 5 divisions (60,000 troops), that stuff was to go from Lybia to Syria. the CIA guys and the ambassador were there to get it done. Thay had made arrangements and the transfer had been scheduled. The day of the raid a well known middle eastern arms dealer showed up and offered the ambassador a huge amount of cash for the stuff. He refused, 2 hrs later 250 well armed militiamen show up, we know the rest. If you remember shortly after; the Egytians intercepeted a large shipment of weapons enroute to Gaza. (same stuff). Also if you recall, about 30 days prior to the raid, Hamas started shooting thousands of rockets into Isreal. They knew the arms would be coming and were making room for them. It is difficult to believe but if true, or partly true it would explain some of what took place.

Just for fun have them come and read the meter again, they may be using an estimated calculation. My first season the nat gas company kept sending estimated bills as usual, I finally had to go there in person and explain it to them.

If you gert (saw around the base of the tree) that will kill the tree, this is a good time to do it, by this time next year the trees will be dead the thorns will have fallen off for the most part, and you'll have real great firewood. Ive done to many locust trees.

I just replaced both upper and lower gaskets on my H4. I got everything needed from my dealer, rope and silicone for about $30.00. The rope was already cut to the proper length. There was enough silicone left over to redo both flapper doors on the back.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: To go with Natural gas or keep Oil for backup?

« on: February 26, 2014, 02:09:50 PM »

We have natural gas for cooking and drying clothes, Our indoor boiler is gas also. We pay the minimum most of the time its like $14.00. I consider that to be rather inexpensive for what we get, hot food and dry clothes. Change the fuel filter on your diesel truck and run the old oil 50/50 till its gone. you might add a little 2cycle oil with it, your fuel pump will be grinnin.

Here's a little something to think about. The green movement itself, which wood smoke emissions is only a small part of, was created by the international bankers. They are holding the paper on every country on the planet. They created the whole thing to protect their collateral. The only thing in America that has any value is our natural rescources (air coal water gas oil timber ect. ect. They own it, and will not have us using or (destroying their collateral) The land and its natural rescoures is what they will repocess. Real estate, our homes, have very little value as far as they are concerned. However, they have a couple BIG problems that are being worked on at present, the constitution, and we are armed.

S E Indiana propane is over $5 and they will only deliver 100 gal. In trouble is right, have plenty of wood to finish the season. Neighbors with electric heat are receiving bills in excess of $1000. I believe we are in for a repeat of the mid to late 70,s
