Seattle is a beautiful place and relies on people having to come in and go elsewhere through the place.

Lots of cruises to Alaska and elsewhere originate in Seattle and the boats being international have people getting maybe only $10 a 12 hour day working there.

All the people going on a cruise of off to Canada will have to eat it and pay more to go through there.

But will the salvage price be enough to cover the armed security needed just to enter a hell hole like that?

I used to do weatherization work on Detroit ghetto houses. 25 years ago these homes were as saveable. Some.

Lots were incredible testament to the artisans who built them. I remember one has gold leaf wallpaper.

Reusing the best of the leftovers is great.

I just hope that people copy and share them around to reach the many more folks who will never read FR.

Yes indeed beautiful and robust, heavy to.
Love it.
I can see a trend to happen when people want retro stoves and ovens that look like from the 20s 30s in their modern kitchens or real authentic ones restored with modern cabinets, counter tops, floors.
These British stoves and ovens can be used with wood pellets or wood.
Not sure the E.P.A would approve.

It can be mitigated by using dust masks, or respirators.

You have a talent there, don’t waste it, God gave it to you for a reason.

Make a book a book of Memes.

By the way ? ISIS is the rise of the Anti-Christ.
Also check out the Egytpain god ledgon of ISIS a winged goddess who is suppose to bring back to life King god Osirus.
All have to do with mystery religions and the occult.
All of this has to do with ISIS today, whether they realise it or not.
In the book of Revelations of Jesus Christ St. John’s early Greek lettering looks exactly like the emblem of Islam and ISIS if you turn it on the side.

AGA has an outlet in NYC. It doesn’t use wood. I only know one person who owns one in England and it’s not wood, either. Gas, I think.
