Re: what not to wish for
Today is a good day, I had gotten all the paint scrapped off the brick wall inside and I have decided to paint it an off white color. I am going to use KILZ primer to fully seal the walls and the off white will look better than the sick Pea green it is now.
Everything is drying out well with three large Dehumidifiers going 24/7 (Can’t wait to see my light bill.).
I have used Gallons of bleach to spray down the walls and Studs, “ell everywhere to kill the dread “Black Mold”.
People all over the town, have had these companies come in and blast the walls with soda or peroxide washes. And the kicker is they won’t guarantee that the “Black Mold” is gone and won’t come back and for this they charge $10,000s of dollars.
A rip off I think.
FEMAs said to use Bleach at a mix rate of 1 1/2 cups of bleach to one gallon of water. I have learned to love the smell of bleach, I mix at a rate of 3 cups per gallon of water and I add a pinch of salt for good measure.
Ok, ok, many of you ask me in emails about it.
The Amish fire proof vault.
I always wonder what happened to their money if they had a house fire ?
Well I walked up to an older Amish man and asked him the question, I said, “I know that the Amish only use cash for everything, no checks or Credit Cards. And ever since I was a young lad I have wondered, because I don’t think you would always carry all your money in your pocket!”
He looked me up and down and took ahold of my arm and walked me to the side of the room.
He said, “They use an Amish fire proof vaults to protect their money.”

I saw he was not funning me about my question, so I asked, “What is a Amish fire proof vault ?”
He went on, and said, “It is a bushel basket, you start with 4 inches full of packed dirt in the bottom. Than put in one all glass pint jar with the cash you wish to save, in the center of the basket. And fill it the rest of the way up and the side too with dirt. Pack the dirt real tight and when you are done you got a Amish fire proof vault.”
He said, “When you see a fire at an Amish farm, you see a lot of people carry bushel baskets of dirt out of the basements after the fire is put out.”
I said, “Don’t you worry about someone walking and stealing the money ?”
He said “No, for there are a lot of bushel baskets of dirt in an Amish farm’s basement to go thought and we pack our dynamite the same way.
"This is My Personal Opinion and no others"
he hired them at 1/3 the cost of a real employee and they live in a trailer out back of his building.
