When I get home from work and it's too "dry" in the house (static electricity, etc.), I put a few pots of water on the stove and blast the fire under them. The little bit of humidity makes it nice and cozy in the house.RawForRealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-10212495691602823052010-11-21T13:32:05.225-05:002010-11-21T13:32:05.225-05:00Those covers look very 1960s to me -- they are, at...Those covers look very 1960s to me -- they are, at the very least, identical to radiator covers in a building my parents lived in for a while on the corner of 5th Ave. and 14th, that was a 1960s structure.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-6736314504140717792010-11-20T23:46:14.833-05:002010-11-20T23:46:14.833-05:00The blasting and clear-coating gave a very nice re...The blasting and clear-coating gave a very nice result.

We've been running it for about the past 3 wks here in the midWorst (obviously, I don't live in Chicago, or I wouldn't be using the Worst root), altho not all day/night like will happen in a few weeks. Of course, we've got a central air/heat system, since we're not in a highrise in uberhip Manhattan; thus, we don't have to worry about painted radiators. Actually, I kind of like our various vent covers; the wall ones look like they might have been painted with an enamel. Hope that turns out to be safe, too!<br /><br />Do you guys snowbird back to Florida sometime after Xmas? We've snowbirded to Palm Springs and Arizona twice when I could manage contracts while here in the midWorst, and it was always Jan-Mar/Apr. I'm hoping to do it again this year; could do without a repeat of last year's weather. I've actually never considered Florida, just because it moves my partner pretty far away from ANY of his famdamnbly. Which might be something I should consider.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the rest of the redo, and congrats on what you've managed so far!Peter Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856372996250471883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-81643055287592339112010-11-18T15:45:39.035-05:002010-11-18T15:45:39.035-05:00Dear Peter,
