My 'IncuTainers' Are Now 'Cooking' at 78 Degrees (pics)
Comments (10)Dan, I actually take the cold-frames off every day to give the plants direct exposure to the sun. One could slant the top if you were leaving them on full time, but remember, those plants on that side of the 'Tainer will lose headroom. Regarding painting the sides, the Rubbermaids are somewhat translucent, and "light" does enter through the LDPE material, albeit at a reduced intensity. I think painting the insides would be counterproductive, as the paint would actually block out the light that comes through the LDPE currently. Raybo...See Morewhoo!! at last, real rain.
Comments (43)Jo, I'm not positive on the current OR property tax thing. I'd have to ask my girlfriend who lives there. However, we had retired friends who custom-built a lovely home on the OR coast and then found that the tax was so high that they couldn't afford to keep it after it was finished. They had to sell it. I've known people who lived right on the border of WA or CA who drove across to shop in OR because of the lack of sales tax, but everyone I know of says that the real estate tax will kill you. If I'm wrong on that, you might consider looking around Eugene. It's a nice city on I-5 in the middle of the state. Brookings, that may be advertised as in a banana belt, is miles away from anyplace, and they don't mention that it's also subject to fierce winter coastal storms and things like giant mudslides. Brookings, Bandon, and Gold Beach are all quite small, with few resources and a badly depressed economy. They don't think to tell you that there are tsunami evacuation route signs posted on the streets in case of emergency. Their flooding can come horizontally..

Comments (6)Hey, Rustipup: That danged old groundhog was right! it has been snowing all day here today! Supposed to get 5-6 inches, most of the schools cancelled classes, and i'm sitting here in the house with a bad cold and cough! RATS!! I can't go out to use my snow-blowers! Oh, it will pass--just have to wait for it to run its course! On the other hand, i sure wish i lived out near you, so i could go up in the back country to see some of the sights! On our trip out west many moons ago, we only got a passing glimpse of the great sights! Then marriage to a nice girl who didn't want to see or drive in the Rocky mountains, or go out in the red rock country (Heck, she closed her eyes when we crossed the Miss. river!, or any other long or high bridge!) Gas was cheap then! So were motels, and restaurants, and car repairs! (The cretins hadn't refined their ways to rip ya off when ya needed help) Now, ya almost have to fly out there, rent a camper, or a truck, and go see the sights! but, thats too expensive for me, since we're subsisting on my Gov't. disability and 2 Social Securities! And, our house taxes are always going up, too. So, enjoy yer trips up into the canyons, etc! Wish i could go too! Rustyj...See Morereally warming up ... it's now 12:15 PM and 48 degrees
Comments (10)It's 3:36 pm and 47 degrees. A little warmer than yesterday. Was outside watching softball games all day Friday. Went and bought all our team players hand warmers. They were more than happy to have those! The wind felt soooo cold! The girls won their tournament despite the chill. It's time for inside sports.....See More
