I don't provide fridges with ice makers, because of the problems and potential leaks.

They didn't believe the Titanic could be sunk until it hit an ice berg.Great answer ken, seriously. 

They converted dining room and one parlor/living room into bedrooms by adding closets. 

Mean my sheet rock and insulation Sub out here in oregon / washington has done that and they have 400 employees and a company JET :) Now hopefully Ice does not snag their crews.

I avoid the area like a plague any more, which is a shame because there's a few things I do like down there like the car museum and the aquarium and there's a great custard ice cream place, but I'm not going to drive an hour and then fight the ridiculous traffic for that stuff. 

@Radovan Matusovich Very familiar with Westwood, I can remember when the big red brick factory opened as a Sealtest Ice Cream producer. 

Want them to not wear out, and also to have good traction during the snow/ice winters. 

Agree about the rate nonsense - rates might be the icing on the cake, but most would-be buyers couldnt afford median-priced homes even if rates were cut in half overnight. 

I have terrible hand writing but I think sending a hand written letter will help break the ice a little bit.

It is no different than if Dairy Queen released a "news article" saying study finds eating ice cream on hot days is great for preventing heat stroke.
