I should add that all my cars that rusted out were manufactured between 2000 and 2004, a Volvo and two Toyotas. They all died from rust in about 20 years. Another note that probably contributed to...

The video is a good reminder that the NEOU product is not just a coating. It penetrates, displaces water stopping rust activity, and seals. It is also self repairing, to a point, flowing to cover...

It is my understanding that they use the 40+ year mean as a guideline to aim for. Other factors also weigh in. For example, in the Spring, downstream flooding concerns may cause the dam management to...

It's a complex game.

Interest rates are still a bit high. The best rates require a high credit score.

Since prices are still up, down payments are higher, requiring more cash on hand.

Just for clarity, the 40+ year mean (i.e."normal") level of the lake is 11" less than full pool at this time of year. The excess drop is 7 3/4". Bad enough, but not almost 19".

Another interesting factoid is that average rainfall in NH for July and August is 3 to 4 inches per month. The dam minimal output at 250 CFS lets about 4 inches a month flow out. So, the normal dam...
