    plenty growing up near Flagstaff.

    Could import from Cali. Buy a van load all ready cut, split, and stacked on pallets. Open a Firewood stand and sell to the tree challenged masses. Should be enough to pay for his winter stash.

    Then again with good insulation and the moderate winters he will see.... Wont need much.

    True, Cali seems to have lots of wood to burn. Dave could find some free firewood. Throw it on the back of Trailer on his way home. Seems like radiant heating would be good in AZ. Small systems can run off a water heater. Expensive upfront. Still need a separate A/C unit. Guess a heat pump would be most common. One unit, all electric. Dave’s an Electrician. I wonder what his thoughts are. Why not Total Electric? I’m not a big fan of natural gas. It’s a must where I live. Due to lower cost. Furnace, water heater, dryer, stove. Occasionally a house blows up. Collateral damage. I don’t trust the old underground pipes. Along with the whole carbon monoxide killing you in your sleep thing. I could do without it.

    Wife was not happy. Had to scrape frost of the car window. Phone is showing 33f outside as the skies lighten.

    I'm going to have a cup of coffee and think about cleaning my windshield. Port has not released the containers they pulled of on Friday.

    It is kinda like the Army. Army has 3 men, who: find out where you are from, and send you far, far away.
    Finds out your friends already in, and sends you far far away from them. Finds out what you did in civilian life and assigns you to an advanced technical school in no way connected.
    EG: Me... Truck driver. Offered Basic Analysis or Advanced Electronics. Wound up SP5, MOS 982.5, Senior Traffic, Control Specialist, mission controller for 65 men. (MOS 058). Go figure???

    House blown up..... Gots to think bigger bud.

    Other than natural gas not available out here, one reason I lean toward Propane is I would control my infrastructure.
