Behavioral/Psychiatric unit that caters to kids who are being abused, psychotic, mad at mom/dad or both, drama queens, drinkers, dopers. They are brought in off the streets or by family, or by the police. and usually involuntary. It's always interesting.
My '04 Drifter 1500 is my therapy, I always ride it to work as weather allows.

- January 29, 2011, 12:31:40 PMI manage a call center. It can be pretty stressful at times but I can't complain. There's not a lot of good jobs in my town and it allows me to take care of my family.
Screenwriting is a hobby for me at this point, but someday I hope to turn it into a career. I'll be sure to post here if my work ever makes it to the big screen.

- January 23, 2011, 14:01:25 PMChief You have it right. love spray foam the the queen anne was foamed from top to bottom. Not sure how thick your studs are ( most are 3/4" to 1") use the thickest foam sheet you can and foam in the cracks. that will give you tha most bang for your buck.

- January 23, 2011, 11:55:27 AMI'm a USMC Viet Nam Vet , doing 2 tours, and returning in 1970. I have a medical retirement that I'm not too thrilled about from the automotive industry. I have been an ASE master tech since 1976, G.M full corporate Master since 1983, Chevrolet Master since 1982. I got my MSF certification and have been teaching motorcycle classes since July of '81. I founded and administered the ABATE of Wisconsin rider Ed. program in 1990. and this year, passed it off to my second in command, who has been with me since 1986. I got my driver education certification this past year, and I am now looking for part time teaching position with a local school for the winter, but with the economy as it is, so far, no luck. I'm also in the IT business, I learned from my father, who worked as a system engineer for Remington Rand, and helped design the Univac computer. I build a few now and then, and do lots of (especially) lap top repairs. I'm a Microsoft OEM, and partner, and a VAR. I try to keep busy, especially in the winter months, but cabin fever is an all too real problem. I can't wait for the spring, but I guess I'll have to. The last couple of years I've been able to get out in early February... I can always hope....

- January 23, 2011, 00:52:05 AMHey Aclone... I have a concrete block (above/below grade) studded wall with little or no insulation under paneled walls... my office... I'm starting a renovation .... What would you use to insulate? ... I'm thinking rigid foam between studs, sprayed foam to fill in seams etc.
