    5:45pm: It's installed and running It took them all day to get the duct work and plumbing sorted out. It was 88 in here when they started it up, but within 30 minutes it was down to 86. The old unit would have never been able to cool it off at all if I let it get over 80. 11:50am: Looks like it will be a challenge to get the ductwork to match up 11:30am: Recycler shows up to drag away old unit. 9:15am: Old one goes out Another guy came with a cart with big inflatable...

    I've had a Rubik's cube floating around the office at Warm Floors since almost as long as I've worked there.

It was very cool to be able to push a button and set things off, in some cases several things at once.

    Ok, I'm a little late getting the flyers scanned and posted. I think it's because this year I already had a plan for what I was going to purchase, and I already knew I would be purchasing on everyone's behalf. Anyways, here's the flyers and links to the SacBee video and reviews: Phantom Fireworks (1M) TNT Fireworks (4M) SacBee reviews SacBee video I got a slightly early start testing out some stuff I had read about on the internet. I don't remember what I was...
