It's very heavy and would have to be collected from Furnace near Inveraray, Argyll." Dunno if someone has taken it. Cool thing to be giving away, I thought. Wow. Yes. Oh dear. I hope she doesn't dump it. The trouble is, of course, that if someone is to commit to ...

... do even after I have to close windows and storm window them against the cold. It's probably 90 degrees today - which I'm not complaining about :) In winter, I have new EC wall Panel heaters with a propane furnace for backup. It will be cooler than now but less fluctuation between days and nights. I hope they'll adapt with plenty of light. That could be what they're lacking. Also got another light rigged this ...

I also have a humidifier for when the furnace has to run and a new ECO convection wall heater for the room (which is usually very cold). I would use the lights even now. Yes. I started today. Good deal. Black/...
