When I moved in my house it had an old 35 yr old oil furnace Repco brand (real Sheit cheapo)
I replaced it myself with a weil mcclane (spelling) cost me $800 delivered into my basement, I then plumbed it in and fired her up with a little reworking of the pipes .
I learned from the time I was 12 yrs old how to fix household items .
My Dad left home and I was the Man. Sucked big time but taught me great responsibility also.

Im in NY .When i have bought plants from vendors ( fig ,strawberrys ,ect) they usually say what zone you can grow it at .

I've seen those zones. When you buy vegetable seeds, the instructions are the same, but timing is different for different zones. Zones you use for instructions depend on where you live

Oh ok yea no pot plants begin sold here still illegal don't know what zone I'm in

Look in "gardening" info. Like vegetable gardening. Where I live, most stuff says 5/10 or so. For something like tomatoes, which love heat, I find that an be a smidge soon.

They are out there doing well, then cooler couple days, combined with rain, my tomatoes fail. Kind of play it by ear. My current house really doesn't have a garden space, to many trees.

May 8th is Mommas Day . I think June 1st is golden

I'm south of you and depending on particular season, I find the same dates for same reason.

I think if I did garden this year, I would grow them indoors and move them out. Never tried it. May be six of one, half dozen of the other type of outcome.

Old friend of mine sold a lathe that came out of the Ford (Dearborn?) plant that was used to make the wooden spokes.

I watched a documentary on charcole. Kingsford charcoal started out by being given away at Ford dealerships back then in the wooden wheel days

Apparently Henry Ford hated any sort of waste. When the wooden wheels were made, there was tons of scrap wood left as waste. Henry had it made into charcole and gave it away to customers at the Ford dealerships. I guess he sort of gets credit for starting the "back yard bbq" back then

Eventually the charcole outfit was sold off and that became Kingsford Charcoal.

I'm in heavy bar b que territory and we have an outfit to that caters to local joints and they have every conceivable type of wood and charcoal. I usually use good old hickory. Sadly, being lazy some days I just fire up the gas grill. Sacrilegious I know....

Its more of a bigger deal so when i fire up the egg im not just cooking a hamburger Im cooking for a small army.

Igniter. And a few other minor things. Furnace is original...built the house in 95. New squirrel cage a few years ago. Burner is still good. New furnace in the near future....a/c not long after.

Yes... Yes it is. If you're gonna use gas, may as well cook in the house.
