Interesting stuff about the crown duct roll. I saw something like that in the basement, left by the landlord. Maybe I'll fiddle around with that sometime this month.
My "option of last resort" was to schedule my 2 ICU months in Jan and Feb - I figure that I'll be putting in 12+ hours, 6 days a week, which means less time that I'll be home (and thus need to heat the house).
I'm so cheap. LOL
Thanks everyone for the good ideas, I do appreciate them!
