As others stated, it was lucky your nephew acted fast to get him the care he needed. On TX water heaters, ours was in the garage. I agree it doesn't make sense to have them upstairs in an attic. I hardly remember Rory. I think I started to post near the end of his tenure on CC. Or maybe I didn't post on the threads he frequented. I do remember lots of monopoly time. 😉 I never knew his first name but I recall discussing with him that his mother subscribed to a newspaper that I was working for in 1961. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is left side of the wall. I goofed by uploading right side first Such a nice looking house Debbie and I love your planter - is it an old boat? The painting is beautiful too. It looks like it really captures that shore feeling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were so close, and correct that @Momof3gurlz's DH is also Andy. I will buy you a drink on the Bella cruise. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted June 14, 2022 #60556 Share Posted June 14, 2022 For the mojito makers here who do their own simple syrup, have you ever made mint simple syrup? I made some today and used my drink tonight. It really bumps up the mint flavor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 14, 2022 #60557 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I don't use simple syrup in my Mojitos. I muddle a cut up lime, a tablespoon of powdered sugar, and 12 mint leaves (mint leaves at the bottom so that they don't break up). Fill glass with crushed ice and then add 2 oz rum. Top with club soda. Probably less minty than using the mint syrup that you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I like the idea of powdered sugar, especially if I get a craving for a mojito but don’t have any simple syrup made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted June 14, 2022 #60559 Share Posted June 14, 2022 @Sea DogGreg- I have been thinking of mentioning a name of an animal expert that used to have a show and WOR radio in NYC a number of years ago. His name is Warren Eckstein. You could Google him as he has written a number of books about dog behavior. When people would call his show asking for help because their puppies/dogs were chewing the furniture etc,he would recommend a product to spray on the item.I think it was called Sour Apple. It was non- toxic and it didn’t stain items,but the dogs did not like the taste and it would deter them from chewing on something they shouldn’t be chewing. Just thought this may be helpful to you to train your pups not to chew the couch. MJ🙋🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low or to much refrigerant, did he put some in his first visit for the fix? How much did he charge you when he was out earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted June 14, 2022 #60568 Share Posted June 14, 2022 34 minutes ago, lenquixote66 said: Are you sure that it is only Dallas ? I had a friend living in a Houston suburb about 40 years ago and I am fairly certain that there was a basement there. In some parts of the state the water table is too near the surface of the ground to build a water-tight basement and no basement may be better than a leaky, flood-prone one. In other areas of the state, there's damp clay soil that can push into basement walls, causing them to crack if not built correctly with the help of an engineer. There's also bedrock that looms near the surface in much of Texas that require digging through it for a basement, which makes the whole process just too darn expensive. Similarly, the frost line — the point in the dirt where the soil does not freeze in the winter — is much shallower in Texas than up north. In other parts of the country, home builders must dig deep to make it below the frost line and since they are already down in the dirt, they may as well put in a basement. There's simply no need for that in most of Texas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
