been there, done that, we did it once when it was still under warranty... it's cold, but it doesn't cool down the house... tonnage is right... we're thinking the attic isn't venting properly... I have on my to-do list to get some temp guages and check the attic temps on a hot day.

yeah, we had the same problem, our A/C isn't that good even w/out the halides... we had to run the halides late at night, so we could see it for a few hours before bed with the lights on... now we can run a daytime schedule with the VHO's.

Hehehehehe you guys kill me.

wind speeds are down to 145mph, however it's still moving northwest and not coming on land yet.

we have plenty of 151 rum and grey goose vodka, and lots of canned soft drinks... everything a hurricane party needs!!!

I'm staying, only exception would be a category 4, and it coming directly over us or slightly to west, in that case, I'd go over to my dad's, a hour away in MS, he has an underground house, which is basicly a concrete bunker in the side of a hill.

no kidding! Makes me glad I live in a little tiny 1500 s.f. house

yeah, let it go east of us, that would rock!

still way too early to tell, since it hasn't crossed over Cuba, but current track makes it Ivan #2?

I already got two 5 gallon containers of gas, and filled 'em up about a month ago, wooohoo! I don't know if I have any regular 30w oil handy tho, but I do have plenty of 10-30w which should be really same as 30w when it's up to temp.

I'll be running mine either on back porch or in garage... garage is fine if you keep the garage door open... you're not gonna be running it 24 hours a day anyway, so just open the garage when you want to run it.

actually last map shows better for us... the quicker it gets here, the weaker it'll be... what is gonna SUCK is if it stalls and doesn't come on shore until monday afternoon or later.

pretty cheap for moon lights.

yeah, most parts of TN are still dixie-land for sure.

Hate to bust it to ya, but I believe TN would still be considered SE U.S.A. heheh

ding ding we have a winner!!! forgot all about that.
