  1. I was just hit less than a week ago with attempted cc theft, a charge of almost 5K for furniture at Bloomingdale's. Have not been to that store in 20 years at least. no credit card account there either. The Lab Corp / Quest Labs customer identity leakage announced this week was the cause of it. This was a major cc company (MC), their fraud dept had called me to check on suspicious activity. I had charged a small invoice payment to Lab Corp just two or three days prior. Talk about timing. When I asked who called me if the purchase was an online attempt, they said no, someone attempted to swipe a card. A card? How do they duplicate my card with a security chip? Needless to say, after all of this, I shredded it. Ironically two weeks prior, they had called me on what they thought might be suspicious. After not using the card in months (cash when possible, or prepaid Visa cards when online) I had charged a few small amount items for the House within an hour of each other. at least they are on top of their Game, thank fully. Years back, cc theft again, they sent flowers, candy and gifts to my House. Wifee loved that.
  2. Does anyone own a cordless snow blower? I would be very interested in their comments on how it operates . . . thanks All ><)))'>

  5. I was planning on going to the St Partick's Day Parade with my son this past Sunday but a last minute medical issue had me staying at home instead. Plan was to drive to Camp Hero and check if they started any staging or work yet. having never seen any work of this nature performed before, I am very curious if they would widen up the narrow up and down roadway to Turtle Cove and/or Camp Hero roadway to beach to allow heavy equipment access to the beach or if all/some equipment is positioned from the water side of things ? ? ? Next plan is going out Easter weekend for a few relax days.
  6. Does anyone know if the ACE has started their $24 million dollar two year revetment project of re-building/extending the shoreline yet? Can one park their car at Camp Hero or Turtle Cove while this work is being done? Thanks, ><)))'>
  7. I am going to be insulating and 1/4" x 3 x 5 Bardee boarding the garage walls on my one car detached garage. I was thinking possibly eps insulation sheets, with a poly vapor barrier first. In the Spring, planning to have a split duct unit installed For the attic I will follow suggestions above with a plywood floor, and same eps with an applied /4 plywood skin sandwiching effect Your thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks

  13. Greetings all, New member here, this forum in particular is my favorite forum.. I have a one car detached brick garge and 1 family home built in 1936, the rear garage wall leaks water below the soil line just during heavy rain conditions and over several hours or days. I used UGL latex waterproofing after preparation of chaulking most crevices/cracked areas where needed along with wire brushing and rinsing the walls. I can see it was patched with cement in this area. At start up, I detected a very slight dampage/condensation on the floor inside corners ran a forced air heater to dry it up, waited 3 days for it to dry out and tonight I see moisture in a much larger area of the same insdie corner and lower part of walls are moist also, some holes i now see need chaulking. And the rear garage wall has about 2 1/2 feet of soil and grass up against it from a raised yard that is behind my house. question : : it has not significantly rained in several days before and after starting this work . . . .how are the walls getting moist? Can ground water or hyrdostaic whatever it is called be causing this? thanks everyone,
  14. I remember as a kid my aunt used to cook eggs for all of us cousins some Sunday mornings . . . She used a cup of the early Sunday morning cooked for hours tomato and pork meat Sauce in a separate frying pan and then put the beaten eggs into the sauce to cook, scrambled; enough eggs to be the majority of the 2 ingredients and it was really REALLY good breakfast treat.
