Yuppers, that's a good one for the Anti-FAQ, boys and girls. I'll be passing it along to the usual suspects, too. ;)

He'd turn to the gents on Wreck.Metalheads for that one, of course. It is quite doable, y'know.

Where you is? Que Paso, um, I mean El Paso, Texicus?

I almost went through LC but I found the shortcut between Deming and Hatch. It was a wild ride that day. I was barreling along at about 80 in a rented Crown Vic when a crow dived to a few feet above the highway and aimed himself directly at me behind the windshield. He veered off just in time. Just after I'd slowed way down, a sheet of rain hit the glass and I was blinded. Quickly looking out the window, I slowed and stopped, still on the roadway. It was over in a minute or three, but it was the heaviest burst of rain I'd ever seen or felt in a vehicle. I stopped cursing crows after that. He probably saved my life.

What I didn't do is repeat "Oh my God!" and "I've never seen anything like that." a minimum of fifty times over the course of a 4 minute vid. 'Course, I didn't see hail. ;)

OK, three votes for Penofin or an analog.

I will begin looking for a local supplier.

Thanks!

I took it as seriously as the rest of your funny article.

Funnier still is that for organizations of a certain size, the huge pan would probably be the best approach.

Yup. But as you say there are quicker more expensive ways to tackle the problem!

When I lived there, a place called 'Cashway' had it. Look in some of the 'smaller' lumber yard type stores.

Cashway is history, long since. They couldn't compete with the Borgs. I've phoned all the "small" lumber/hardware stores in the "book"; no luck. El Paso is notorious for not having anything that's not in high demand. But there's a Ruby Tuesday's in Las Cruces and SWMBO likes to eat there so off we go. {:-)

The pan wouldn't be big enough for a drip pan under the car when you were through. :)

Is there a reason one wouldn't treat the wood first and then assemble the gate?

yep - when I lived in a Coastal Redwood forest it was touch or do it all every fall. Just before cool days set in. Winter rains would pound it.

I measured (using my pro 10" to the .01" gauge ) 90 to 100 inches. One year it was so bad that the ground jellied. It was about 6" deep.

My deck 24 feet in the air - was about 1800 square feet took two and half landings to get all the way down. We lived in the house for 18 years and it passed inspection when we sold it.

I have two (shop-built using Norm's plan) redwood adirondack chairs and a small knee-high redwood table and these are kept outdoors on the deck. In winter, I bring them in, tighten any loose bolts, sand, and coat with Flood's product (it is called CW? or some three letters I can not recall). This darkens the wood and protects it for up to two years. Not as durable as paint, but it never peels and very easy to apply. The label says it dries in 48 hours--I say give it a week of drying for the stickiness to go away. Sanding removes the gray color and the finish almost makes the redwood look new again. The furniture is about 15 years old, still sturdy and looking very good.
