She is 71 year old in 1 month, so for her age, and her limited mobility she is doing well campared to other women who live on our road................and she has put up with me since 1977.

I put some on the condense pipe from my central heating boiler a few years ago after it froze and backed up into the house . Our winter temperature's get nowhere near as low as what you have i thought it would be a must there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
