  1. Federal Law: Title 18. Section 2071
    Can it be any clearer?
    Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal, it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office.
    Such as, say, President of the United States.
    "If you do this or that bad thing, you've essentially disqualified yourself as being the leader of the free world," said Mukasey, referring to the illegal server and the illegal handling of classified materials.
    Mukasey specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.
    For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says:
    “(a)
    Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
    (b)
    Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.”
    Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."

    Haven't read the thread thoroughly, but have a check of all your ductwork to be sure it's sealed well at every connection. I had all my ductwork redone when I first bought my house because I was losing so much air through the joints. Some of the soft flex insulation was in bad shape too. Having the right size ducts helps to distribute the proper amount of air to each vent. 

    Yep and while at it make sure the dampers are all open.

     

  3. Where the house extends out beyond the foundation, is there anyway you can tell if it is insulated?  If not stuffing it with fiberglass might help.  On an old house we had years back I cut strips of 2" dow board (pink or blue) and stuck it up on the outside of the house where I could underneath where the house stuck out from the foundation.  Every little bit helps.

  4. Concerning the sink, is it the pipes freezing?  Used to be builders ran the pipes in the exterior wall coming up from the basement.  Nowadays that's a no no, because of freezing issues.  That can be remedied by re running the pipes straight up thru the floor.  Is there a basement window under the sink area?  If its an old steel framed window they leak a ton of heat.  What about the sill plates, are they all insulated? They should be.

    How old are your windows?  Older windows or less insulative windows can cause a house to feel cold and drafty.  That effects the whole house.  For the time being putting plastic over them can really help.

    Corners on outside walls quite commonly used to be framed leaving no real room to put any insulation in the corner, or the builders just didn't bother to make sure any small gaps were insulated.  Door weatherstripping in bad condition also helps with the cold and drafty feeling within.

    Attic insulation should be a minimum of r-38 iirc.  I like to exceed that by a foot or so.

    The house we recently bought has 2 x 8 exterior walls, first time I have lived in a place like that.  Then they put 1" dow board and wrapped the house.  That extra insulation does make a difference.  Never knew how much until now.

     

    Hope this helps.

Wanting to put a workbench/cabinet yo front in the v nose area but haven't figured out how yet. Also want to have some kind of a fold out or hanging platform for a small sleeping area that can be out of the way when not in use. Also haven't figured that out yet. Anyone done any add ons like that?

    "I miss America"

    Nice man....maybe I'll do that after the move.

  6. Yeh, carryinbg a ground through a frame like that often fails due to bad connections along the way, ie rust or corrosion of some sort.

     

    bad-I'm setting this up to help hold things down and I figured the sidewall track could hold lighter boxes and so on from falling all over after a 300+ mile trip.  Never done this before, so am hoping for the best.

  7. Got mine for making a move too.  Reinforced the floor with better supports, helped alot.  Walls leave a lot to be desired though.  Putting some track on them too but figure you can't really tighten straps down alot or the wall will give, at least thats the way it feels.

     

    Anyone here installed any of that e track?  Figured on two continuous runs on the floor, and two on each sidewall  Then need to incorporate the 3 chocks on the floor too.  Adding another interior light too up in the front.

  8. Well Sorry. If you have a couple of hours to spare just ask me how I really feel about the Clintons

    We can start with Bills NAFTA program and how it really screwed the working class and 100 of thousands of manufacturing jobs in America.

    Never happen for a vast amount of reasons

    Clinton only signed the bill into law when he became Prez for the first time.  It was one of those deals where he had no choice as it was sitting on his desk when he took office.  

     

    The whole thing was begun by Reagan but had no reference to the acronym NAFTA.  HW Bush and others took it the rest of the way and left the bill on the Prez's desk for signing.  I'm pretty sure HW thought he was going to beat Bill and that he would be the one to sign it into law.

     

    Anytime I hear about this I think of ol big ears Perot and how he predicted it would be a failure for the US.

  9. Hoping not to start a flame fest - just an innocent question - why not Rubio? He interviews well, seems pragmatic about immigration, doesn't have Bush's family baggage. His trick is appealing to minorities while also not alienating the pasty white party "natives."

    I also do not want anymore rino's, but last I heard about Rubio's immigration beliefs were ones I do not believe in.  Maybe he's changed now, to gain more popularity.

     

    Like the last Prez election, one would think that possibly the Rep's had figured out the Dem's were beatable and would forge a gameplan to take them down.  But they didn't then, so I hold little hope the party will ever figure it out.  Instead of creating policy, they tend to 'react' to the Dems so they seem to be a step behind all the time.

  10. Never knew the water quality was a problem there.  WE looked at a couple of places on the lake before buying our current house.  I remember there being a problem with algae because the lake was so shallow so we looked elsewhere.
