I think I'll just keep a bunch of extension cords plugged in all over the
house... "oops lost this one, lemme try over here" haha.. just
kidding.  You know you know all the ins and outs of a house after you've
lived there for a while, this newbie (well new since last July at least)
seemed so, I dunno solid.. live and learn.

haha.. wow.. never tried that one :)

I would think so.. :)  This move to Slaterville Springs wasn't soooo far..
Maybe an hour and a half- 2 hours, something like that.  Long long winding
tiny road with slow farm vehicles and few distances of passing lanes though


Take care,
