From Lehigh Valley, now live in Kutztown. I think warehouse construction is a bubble ready to pop. Too bad Dutch Springs lost the waterpark and open scuba to warehouse development, but glad Stu made 16 million plus off the sale.

Kutztown is insulated where the farms are owned by Mennonites. That's their family trust fund, wrapped up in tradition. They aren't selling.

We got a pellet stove, no chimney (pipe goes through the wall) in 2005, refurbished and installed from a stove store. Came here to say I love it. It nicely heats the living areas and I love how the cat drapes herself over it, the dogs lay in front of it and how nice it is to warm my cold butt!

We burn 2 to 4 tons pellets a year. Prepay $325 a ton for 2 this season, stored free at the store. I refill the oil in the summer, usually 3/4 tank. Cleaned and maintained by a tech yearly, we turn it off and vacuum it once a week (shop vac). Had to replace a couple parts that wore out over the years, not bad.

The forced hot air oil heat thermostat is set at 52. The pellet stove is in the family room and we run it from 5:30 am until 9:30ish pm. We have a Quadri-Fire 1200 and they still make the same unit- no upgrades for fashion.

My husband and I both changed our last names about a year after we were married. We picked something we both liked.

The attached is what we did. If you don't want to trust the link, contact your state representative and ask their office. It's their job to give you instructions.

Basically, we had to go to court with a form to explain why we wanted to change it and the new name we wanted. Then we had to prove we were serious by jumping through hoops- take out a classified ad in 2 newspapers in a certain time, cough up some cash and file paperwork. Go BACK to court with all the hoop jumping proof. Get a stack of new-name forms with the court seal notarized. Then submit our new name notarized stamped forms to a bunch of places.

It's not easy but it ain't sleazy. Dotted i's and crossed t's.
