Ok, I know this sounds wierd, but if I hadn't seen it, I would have never believed it. My neighbor was having a trench dug to install piping. When the contractors came out, the nieghbor said, "Due to last night's phase of the moon, you will not be able to fill the hole/trench." This applied to the trench and the hole that was dug.

Everyone grinned and went to work. However, when the contractors tried to fill the hole with the dirt they removed, they could not. In addition, they had to bring dirt to the site to fill up the hole.

So, have any of you ever heard this? And why was the amount of dirt removed not able to fill the hole and trench that were dug.

If I ever had a kid, I would want to have a clone of myself. I'm not crazy, just think, you would know that person very well, understand their problems and difficulties very well. It would be amazing. Does anyone see a downside to this idea?

I am about to begin construction on a house and I am going well out of my way to make sure the entire house will be as energy efficient and independent as possible. All appliacnes will be able to run off of solar electric system EXCEPT air conditioning and no matter how much i search, this issue is a problem. The only alternative solution I might have found is a natural gas air conditioner. BUT I only have propane available from a 1000gallon tank (planned, I guess I could go bigger). I know that almost anything natural gas can be converted to propane, but would rather not void any warantee's and I don't know if those systems are economical. Please help with any information you can provide? Low power evaportaive a/c's they have out West don't work in Florida, too much humidity.
