    Pipe tape isn't the same as heating tape, right?

    We have self regulating heat tape, and then wrapped in insulation. One of the reasons for the back up generator was to keep pipes from freezing in the winter because we can run the heat tape ( and the pump to have water...dare to dream :) ). The heat tape has it's own breaker in the house, so when temps start to get low we flip it on.

    We have a house Roomba and the equivalent appliance for the pool. Both are called R2D2 & we love them both equally.

    Things that make life easier. Anyone driven a 2022 Tesla. Rented one recently it drives itself. Has a nice light show programmed the lights blink from exterior and interior to music. The seats a very comfortable. Recharging in only a few minutes and easy to keep charged in the city. If I lived in the city I would love to take the Tesla around the country in summers.

    There is a roomba for washing tiles and ceramic floor. Not that great. But for light dirt ok. With dogs muddy feet it’s a wash out.:sleeping:
