You are way nicer than me. I would have told him yes I barely use the phone because I have to run outside, climb the pole and crank the phone everytime I want to make or recieve a call and now you have me up here hanging on this pole in the cold just to waste my time. If I wanted yer service I would have called you. I don't think there would be a need for me to hang up on him cause he would already be gone.
I have many lines I use for these sales people. Like the one wanting to repair my windshield. I need bullet proof glass. (caller) Why bullet proof. Because I am a bank robber and am tired of getting my windows shot out! That came from a friend who is a cop.
Or the ones trying to sell me vynal windows I just tell em I don't have no windows. (caller) you don't have windows? Nope I live in a cave.
YES becareful they live among us and some wear sandals!

We haven't had our landline plugged in for a while but when we used to get sales calls my DH would answer in a childs voice. They would ask if his parents were home and he would say, no, I am only 4 years old and my mommy left me home by myself and I'm really scared. Sometimes they hang up and sometimes he can really get them going. One time he said yes, my mommy is home but shes busy in the bedroom with the cable guy (and he's wearing socks with sandals!)

Ugh, this rain has been non stop all morning. I keep waiting for it to let up a little before I go outside but I can't wait any longer. Hope I don't float away. I'm sure the chickens already have.

After looking at alternatives for seed bed heating in the back of my mind I kept thinking but the rope lights worked for him.
So I went back to see exactly what kind of rope lights this guy used.

After looking at this again...............

I'm thinking my first experiment was flawed.
In his picture with that many rows of lights and if that heat was captured in that small of space me just holding one set of lights after they have been on for ten hours is certainly not the same comparison.

After reading and looking again I notice his lights the same as mine.
He also mentions the double insulation and being water proof which is the same.

So now that I understand where I went wrong I'm going to do it his way but use 1/4 rock instead on top for more heat to escape.

When my kids were little, I'd just put them on the phone, but that is WAY better!!

The call that really irritates me is BofA trying to get me to buy their credit card protection service. They call me at least daily, no matter how many times I tell them I'm not interested. Last night I got home and everyone was cranky because DH was not happy about walking home in the terrible weather, and we were all hungry. I was busy peeling potatoes with a new set of very sharp knives when they called, and I startled and sliced my thumb, a real bloody cut ... it's still seeping through the bandaid. I chewed the caller out (BofA again) ... he's still trying to make his sales pitch "I'm real sorry you got hurt, but if you just give me a minute of your time, should you ever lose your job, we'll continue to make your minimum payment..." And what job would that be? I have not had a paying job in years (didn't tell him I start one on Monday). I don't care what kind of a discount they are giving, I keep that card paid off. I just want them to quit harrassing me with the daily calls! And he tells me "I'll just call back at a more convenient time." "No, No, No! Don't call back, ever! I don't want the service, I don't need the two free credit reports! Get lost FOREVER!"

I bet I'll get another call today. B of A took over this card about 2 years ago when the issueing bank went under. I think they have called every day since they took over the account. I've had it since 89.

Very cool. What type of netting are you using for your beans? How did the net handle the weight of the beans?

This net comes from Home Depot and does not cost much, I cut it down at the end of the year and toss it.

They handle the weight fine, even in wind...and my award winnung beans were heavily laden.

It seems to me that regular small X mas lights would make a little heat but that those LED lights encased would not make much heat at all...hmmm
Did you put it all together and have a thermometer inside ?
If you are starting plants indoors, you would not need much heat at all...
