[QUOTE="db-2, post: 288240, member: 4743"] I remember, i think it was 1963, when one morning as i went downstairs my mother was telling my dad how nice it was not to have to get up to a cold house and go into the basementt and put [B]coal[/B] in the furnance. How nice it was now that there was oil heat with just a themostat to turn on the wall. How nice it was not to haul ashes out from the basement. And life was better. Maybe close to when we got running water, no more outdoor outhouse, REA and no longer a maytag gas engine to start to charge the 32 volt direct current system up in the house for lights. For me it was as nice as dad selling the 12 milk cows and then those worthless chickhens, a 806 with power steering and not a WD-9 with manual steering that I could not turn. When the land ran out of rocks and no longer needed to pick by hand or pitch hay building a hay stack (however those square bales where no joy) A TV and the list goes on. Yes life got better when the coal went. db [/QUOTE]
