I'll probably call them tomorrow and ask them if they would like to rent the space its sitting on. It don't really bother me being there other then it isn't doing m any good, but my neighbor is wanting to scab internet off of me and that can't happen with the dungeon there because it is blocking the signal.<br /><br />Well Jicky, I do have a blender and am not against drinking tequila drinks or shooting it for that matter. ;)<br /><br />Bigfoot, I think I clocked it at 3 miles by driving, but as the crow flies who knows. I'm going to put up a privacy fence between there and here once the dungeon is gone. ;) See you when you get back here.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-29985042351866572422011-05-05T13:15:58.600-05:002011-05-05T13:15:58.600-05:00Gonna be a very different view from our place look...Gonna be a very different view from our place looking towards yours, that's..what...probably 2-1/2 miles apart?<br /><br />no more big red box to hide behind.<br /><br />seeya next week, David.<br /><br />Big F.Bigfoot and Littlefoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627439273513199577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-58741278750835961942011-05-04T20:32:00.654-05:002011-05-04T20:32:00.654-05:00Cindy, the only rum drink I like is Gosling's ...Cindy, the only rum drink I like is Gosling's with ginger beer - Dark & Stormy.

(over exposure to radiation)<br /><br />As a young man I was exposed to Agent Orange in Viet Nam. (I didn't know better)<br /><br />After that I worked in the HVAC field and was exposed to asbestos, very toxic gas from burned out compressors, exposed to killer heat in attics and handled a lot of materials that are now buried in toxic waste dumps.

According to the tags on the doors, the timber component (the floor to most people) almost invariably is treated with serious pesticide. There are multiple purposes to the pesticide treatments - a) to prevent transplantation of harmful insects around the world, b) to protect the structure of the floor, and c) to protect the contents from infestation<br />and damage. The treatments are serious both in quantity, being roughly in the range of 1 to 10 pounds of pesticide in the wood, and serious in quality. Even 5 lbs is enough to kill a staggering number of insects. As often as not, these pesticides have been banned in the US (and frequently Europe too). Some cause cancer (e.g.., DDT) while others cause testicular atrophy (e.g., Phoxim). Some take hours of diligent searching to track down on the internet either because of trade names or cryptic abbreviations. Pesticides are at least somewhat volatile and almost certainly will permeate the contents<br />over time, especially if the can gets hot. Note that the contents can include occupants; caution with food storage in containers also advised, unless strong measures are<br />taken (e.g., remove and replace the floor with untreated wood). Please note that lacquers, varnishes, paints and plastic sheets are highly permeable to organic vapors.vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296343159953900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-37466675230763701922011-05-02T11:03:35.602-05:002011-05-02T11:03:35.602-05:00Better put a prop under that mater, or pretty soon...Better put a prop under that mater, or pretty soon it is gonna look like Snoopy's christmas tree.Bob from Athenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124078025732286371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-16200388126297558882011-05-02T08:26:07.875-05:002011-05-02T08:26:07.875-05:00~mc~ I have lots of memories of it to, but some of...~mc~ I have lots of memories of it to, but some of them were not fond at all. Of course when you came for the visit that was a fond one. ;)<br /><br />MsB, you just might throw rocks at beer once you try a Mojito. I haven't had to throw away anything yet, but I think the wind is helping there. A lot of stuff may be in Mexico now with the high wind. I haven't had a chance to get everything i there yet so it still either in the trailer or sitting on the ground outside the Dungeon II.<br /><br />LL, the rent was $85 a month. I'd love to have a couple of them but can't afford one. What I wanted to so is something like JW and put a roof between them, but use that for a car port and shop and then use the containers for living space and storage. I've heard you can buy them in Ft. Stockton and they will deliver them for a total price of $2400 each. I haven't checked in to it so can't say if that's true or not.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-23357322384470422272011-05-02T06:57:03.215-05:002011-05-02T06:57:03.215-05:00What did that rent for?
