Thx for all this info! This board is the greatest. I really want the 301 long bed. I first wanted a featherweight but after much research, I thought I would start with the workhorse! I am all over ebay and craigs list. Sorry to hear about your roof, Kathy. We are staying dry so far. We plan on raking the roof tomorrrow-would you believe that you would have to rake your roof. Thx Billy & Kathy,
Peace & Blessings

Well, instead of a treadle sewing machine in my bathroom :mrgreen: I have an umbrella in my bathroom.... :lol: :roll: to use so we don't get sprinkled while we tinkle :oops: :-D

Actually, it's the ice dams that form along the edges of the roof that causes the problems with leaking in the house. Once the dam is formed the snow that melts, further up the roof, has nowhere to go but back up and then under the shingles. There has been a lot of roof collapses in my area of Massachusetts this past week and we are expecting more snow tomorrow.

The first 301 that I bought was a long bed. I liked the way the long beds looked but then I found out that only the short beds will fit into a cabinet so now I also like my short beds, especially since I bought one in a cabinet (CL for $50!!), so now they can take turns in it.

Well now I am going to have to get another laptop Cathy!! I just spit coffee all over it! I love the forecast that you guys have and the weather man and I could get along really well!!

But I think I would get me a stick or something and start beating ice of the side of the house. Heck that would be fun for me but then I would probably sit outside with hot buttered rum and shoot them off with the old Red Ryder!!
