    Ya we're starting to tear all the drywall out of my Grandma's up to the ceiling, it is pretty darned sad but we have big plans to build it bigger and better! Hopefully FEMA will pull through, she doesn't have a penny to her name so one would think she will get some money... you never know with uncle sam though :-/

    Thanks, it's been pretty crazy in Indiana with the tornados a couple weeks ago then these floods and now the flooding in Iowa and other parts of the midwest. FEMA is letting people call the tornados and floods 1 event to make their lives easier. Lots of people to be thinkin of right now across the midwest...

    Well you are prepared if you are home when it goes out. At least you are planning for it. With the weather we have been having here lately in Indiana and since I live in the country I loose power a lot and I'm just tired of pulling out a generator and extension cords. I like the automatic part of this one, it will restore power in 10 sec. Heck the water won't even be half drained from the overflow in that short period of a time.

    I'll put your name on the list now that you mention it.

    What edit on the post....I have been set up by a moderator.. :p
