Installed a sealed downlight over the new shower and a new exhaust fan today. The light and exhaust fan are tied together so that when the exhaust fan is on the light in the shower is on as well. It has always been dark in the showers of both bathrooms. Anyhow, It tuned out like the three stooges installed them. Cut the holes in the ceiling for the light and that went fine. Went to take out the old exhaust fan and it was like they nailed it to the rafters with railroad spikes. Downstairs to the shop for a pry bar. Finally l broke the fan loose. Ok now we're going to take the duct off the old fan. Came off ok but it turns out that birds have been nesting in it for forever it seems like. Whole thing is filled with bird nests. Started taking them out so I told my buddy to hold on I'll run down and get the shop vac and we can vacuum them out or blow them out the side of the house. Run down to the shop and get the 18 gallon shop vac. Get back up with it and there are bird nest parts all over the bathroom floor and he has a clothes hanger stuck all the way in the duct. "pull that out and I'll try the shop vac" I tell him. Anyway he starts to pull it out and the it gets caught on the inside of the flexible duct and pulls it clean off the little hood on the outside of the house. Ok, time to run and get a new duct and little hood thingy (technical term) only problem is the little hood is 25 feet of the ground. He goes to his house 20 miles away to get his ladder and I go to the hardware store and get new duct and hood. After that and lunch he gets back and installation proceeds. Went fine after that but, I have been up and down the ladder and stair so many times that I feel like somebody beat me with a stick! :D

Ever wonder why the exhaust fan didn't work very well? Too bad you are moving-- all that work when you could have left the mess for the new owners to find.

Equality found it here too. Still expensive. If anyone hears about it with respect to folks that can't vape PG put they can vape 1,2-Propanediol let us know.

1 2 Propanediol 99 0 Analytical Reagent 50ml | eBay
1,2-Propanediol is a chemical name for PG.
"PG" and "1,2-Propanediol" are just two different names for the exact same thing.

It would be ironic if Five Pawns' new alternative to PG is nothing more than PG by a different name.

1,3-Propanediol is what we were looking at when you first posted about Propanediol. It's got the same empirical formula as PG, but a different molecular structure.

Fun fact: according to Wikipedia, here's one of the ways that 1,3-Propanediol is produced:
"Conversion from corn syrup effected by a genetically modified strain of E. coli"

ECF went offline just before I tried to post this response yesterday.
Here are references where you can verify the above information:

1,3-Propanediol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Today my granddaughter receives her First Holy Communion we'll be gone most of the day...naturally a big party afterwards at our son's house!...

Hope you had a fun party yesterday!

Wow, wonder what happened with ECF yesterday. There wasn't any warning about the site going down was there? Didn't know if I missed something.

Gonna be a busy day today and luckily it"s going to be 84 and sunny.

Good morning, Porchers!

Back from Arizona, finally. The funeral was sad, but at the same time, joyful; FIL hated "sad," so we spent lots of time recounting great times with him - stories that epitomized character traits, told by three generations. And he was most definitely a character :). A fitting tribute.

Glad to read that ECF was offline, last night. I tried to log in about 20 times, to no avail. Thought it was my iPad being fussy. Anyone know what happened?

Hope all y'all have a perfect day!
