Oh. Did you build a stall around the drain? lol

Actually the woods are right outside the door, and I do own the lot next door that's down slope from my house. Hope there aren't any tree huggers reading this !

Why? Are you trying to kill trees by peeing on them?

If so, my guess is the trees are ahead on poiints.

Around here, the trees grow like weeds. I read once that a New England forest is virtually indestructible, that the best you can do with it is have a standoff. Judging from the looks of the land around me, it was pretty much clear-cut 25 or so years ago. It's recovering quite nicely.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

No, I'm not trying to kill my beloved trees - Its just that i spent twenty years in California, and can expect only wacky behavior from righteous 'tree huggers'. One doesn't have to be a tree hugger to protect trees and to respect a forest - which won't always reclaim itself - just look at the devastation from acid rain in the Smokey Mountains and the Adirondacks, as an example. Being a woodworker, I have an extra special respect for this limited, but renewable resource.

And, I think that the turn this discussion has taken is getting far afield of the original topic, so enough about peeing on trees and down drain holes. Agreed?

I agree. It's time to "flush" this tangent and get back to the original discussion.
