Mine never gets totally put away for the winter. It gets taken out now and then to heat up the fluids and get the tires back on a new spot.

Except last year when it didn't have brakes for half the winter. :rolleyes:

Had mine out this past Sunday, actually saw Stan on Rte 28 in Salem cruising in his car , usually the first time they have to treat the roads is when mine gets put away for the winter !

Actually this winter will be the first time in a REAL garage for the Saleen !

Just did some work in my new Garage to make it a little more accomdating for me as well as the car ! More projects are already in the plans for the Garage !

Thanks buddy ... still waiting to hear back from the seller about the radon water/air mitigation the place needs. I asked for money off 3 days ago and nothing yet, but being an estate sale and supposedly lots of parties being involved, it's taking time'
The house is right off Robinson Rd, off Rt 102. I'd rather not say the actual street name on the interwebz, lol.

I actually sent an e-mail to my realtor last night for her to forward to them, basically saying that if I don't hear back by 4PM today I'm gonna assume rejection and move on to another house.

Hope that doesn't happen, but I don't want them taking their time for days on end

Thats a nice area of town. Somewhat quiet and nicely located. My daughter danced for years at Melissa Hoffmanns dance center.

I didn't know that Radon was a big issue anymore? I remember it being one about 10+ years ago but it seems to have fallen off of the radar.....
Back then, when I had my house tested, my results were above the NH standards but were below Mass and Maine states recommended levels.
The EPA had different levels of acceptability as well. I'm sure all this has changed over these past years....
I went out and priced out a system for both air and water.... Then My neighbor told me to crack a window.... which is what I ended up doing. I probably woiuld do the same thing today unless it became a major issue with clear cut adverse health related issues directly related to it's exposure.....

I hope it works out for you.

I hope it works out for you.

For radon in the air, cracking a window might do something, but in our test the radon in the water was very high, and it apparently goes down half in the count every 4 days the water stays stagnant. The house has been vacant for almost a year, meaning that water in the well tank has been stagnant for a long time, I can only try to imagine how high the radon in the water actually is.
Plus, the pH level is low, which means the water is acidic, which can lead to rust in the copper lines, dissolved lead in the solders, and other issues.

So the water definitely needs to be tended to.

I heard back today that the seller wants the buyer (me) to share in the cost of the radon mitigation.

I replied with my new offer on that, and requested a speedy response.
Almost 6 hours later now and nothing.

Getting quite antsy ....

Lol, yup, the house is mine, got the keys yesterday shortly after 12 PM ..... we then went and had lunch, then spent 2-3 hours at the place, met a nice neighbor lady, removed all the green switch/outlet plates, removed most of the old/brittle/loose tile from one spot in the living room where an old heating stove used to sit, hung a wreath on the front door, replaced the locks, and even put up a small 2-foot x-mas tree in the living room window :)

Going back there today, it needs new lights at the front of the house, I want a new motion-activated light by the garage, and a bunch of other stuff ...

The fun's began! Lol

Lol ... no, haven't removed the posts ... haven't done anything to the garage except for cram the Mustangs in there, the new chainsaw and the new snow blower :D

All the work's been getting done in the house. The floors are down to the plywood sub-flooring, the bathroom is completely empty, bare walls and just a toilet, the kitchen is almost the same.
Oh, and with Lisa's brother-in-law's help, we cut down about a dozen trees from in front of the house.
Now the house has a much better view, and looking at the house there are no longer huge trees right in front and close to the driveway :)
