    That story may not be the whole picture. What you observed is just another portion of the picture.

    Noticed an article recently that, nationally, warehousing is at max capacity with not enough supply in the works to meet growing demand. Almost no empty space in most markets.

    My semi sarcastic questions,for which I do not expect answers: How much of that merchandise you made note of is just wasting space cause the general population doesn't want it? Should we just landfill most of it? Can we as a nation cut our losses and just ship it back to the originator?

    I hope the warehousing folks bankrupt their clients with storage fees so we can get past this crap and move on.

    I hope the answer to the next one is NO! Are we to the point that we need to ration imports to just essential products?

    I still couldn't do it... Freak weather happens at the worst times. One bad freeze and those pressure tanks would look like exploded beer cans.

    My pressure tank is 5 feet below grade with an insulated roof that is removeable for access... And I still get concerned when it gets below 0F.

    Why several small tanks? Ive never seen a multiole tank setup with such small tanks... Round here folks just get a bigger tank. Mine is an 80 gallon tank.

    That place had a good sized pool though. All well. Maybe that had something to do with it. Was 5 acres with horse stalls and stuff.

    I didn’t really think so. Though the shade is right. I saw some Adobe homes once on TV in Arizona. It was a pretty cool concept. I’d never seen or heard of them before.

    Adobe is incredibly old and naturally insulated... Straw, manure, mud, water, and alot of work.
