    Mortgage rates

    Rural living goes in cycles. Folks get tired of driving kids to town for sports and miss the convenience of city living , taxes get to be a bit much and some just age out on ability to care for the place .

    Oil extractor

    I own two , small one , big one . Both are a vacuum type , off brand CTC units . The oil is in the extractor tank not all over everything which works for me . It does take about 10 mins to suck out a liter so plan accordingly. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    If anyone really knew what was best , there would not be two options and brokers would all own Ferraris . I was always fixed because I knew I could cover that amount and keep the house for x yrs . Friends went variable and either told me how much they saved or how much more it was costing ...

The stuff from northern climes has been used for boat building for years so it has a decent weather resistance. I don’t know if it’s better than cedar , but cedar quality has declined a lot in...
