Thanks, I have a Mac and couldn't figure out how to save it on Firefox OR Safari. This is a great tip!!

Thanks! I wish I had the money to have bought a normal wood one as well. Seems like the feeling of the stabilized has been described as much different than the other woods. I guess I'll have to try again next time to get that warm natural wood feel. It's not like you can have too many Reos, right? Haha, wish my wife believed that!!
You can still use Howards Feed and Wax on them. I use it on all of mine. Especially on the inside. There is no poly coat there. Just use a Q-tip and apply inside. It will soak into the wood and give some protection to juice spills. Also will keep the wood from drying out. My Stabilized has Howards all over it! Any bare wood should have protection.
I took a bunch of pennies to take up the space and put tape around the outside. It works great since copper is such a good conductor.
Pennies are made from 97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper.
As of 2012, it costs the U.S. Mint 2.41 cents to make a cent because of the cost of materials and production.

In the US, the most litigious nation in the known universe, anybody can sue anybody for anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you probably won't have a hard time finding a lawyer willing to take the most frivolous case before the court. It is up to the judge to determine whether the case will proceed. By that time, in many instances, the person/entity being sued has potentially spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees even before the case goes to court.
It is not unusual for auto insurance carriers to settle out of court to avoid the costs. Same for large companies. And that's no matter how frivolous the "complaint" is!!!!!!!!!!
And................ I forgot............. corporations are legal persons now.
We have some experience with frivolous suits. The silliest one and it now cost us $100 a month extra in car insurance was... DH was stopped, at a stop light, behind a pickup truck. His REO had fallen on the floor so he reached down to retrieve. His foot came off the brake and he nudged the backend of the pickup. In Texas you have to have a front license plate. Small dent in pickup truck bumper. It didn't even leave a mark on the license plate let alone bend it. He and driver exchanged info and went on their ways. About 6 weeks later we got a letter from our insurance co. that DH was being sued for bodily injury from the driver in pickup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was totally out of our hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The insurance co., Farmers, settled out of court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had two hit and runs to our cars when they were parked. We used our insurance to fix them as each cost a couple of thousand to fix. And then a few months later DH was stopped at a stop light and a young woman plowed into him from behind, totally her fault, and about $5K damage to DH's car which our co. paid to fix while waiting for her co to pay. Our insurance co. told us that her carrier was hard to get money from so I don't know if or what they got from her carrier. DH had one or two speeding tickets, in past few years. Our auto insurance, for two 10 year old cars, went from ~$260 a month to over $400 a month. We do have collision and carry PIP so that takes the cost of insurance up. I've got to seek out another insurance co.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cost of our insurance didn't budge until DH bumped the pickup truck. He was maybe going 1 mph.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAZINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a reminder to new REOnauts...
"UNSURE's LAW" Always have EVERYTHING you need in house BEFORE your REO arrives! Worst sin ever is staring at a new REO that can't be used!
BTW................ Gil, ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your burled TEAK door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Feisty Alice
Although I have a gaggle of 16340s and a few 18350s I thought we needed more with 3 VV in house so I ordered a few more from Lighthound yesterday afternoon, Sunday. Shipping notice was sent out at the same moment the sales receipt was sent a fraction of a second after order completed. I just checked and the batteries were accepted at PO at 1403 today. That's pretty fast shipping. They should be here no later than Wed.

I think got my "dummy" 16340 spacers from RTD. They are the same size as the 16340 batteries and even look like batteries with blue shrink wrap. I labeled them so no one would try to use them as battery and then think something was wrong with PV.
I have the aluminum ones that are about 0.5", also.
Feisty Alice
Nope, not me but a great idea. Not that I wouldn't use hex nuts but "Honorary Boy Scout Feisty Alice" usually has "proper"
things in advance. Now.................. duct tape, being the duct tape QUEEN ................... that usually works to fix just about everything but hex nut would be better for spacers.Feisty Alice
Our VV Woodvils have been sitting at UPS store since SAT (we were out of town)............. OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The engine maintenance light came on in my car and DH won't be home till after closing............... OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Feisty Alice
My VV Woodvils will leave the house for car trips, protected in special pockets in my purse but the Spalted probably won't go outside, at home, DANGER DANGER!!!!!! or even much beyond the recliner side table except for maintenance and care and filling bottles.
BTW.... If you have round cup carriers in car, the cardboard sleeve that goes on hot, to-go coffee cups, placed into car cup holder, are great to keep REOs in an upright position. The cardboard sleeve wants to go back near it's original shipping state so it stays open just a little wider than a REO thickness.
Feisty Alice
Only after learning Unsure's law the hard way with my first Reo.
