(Part 2) Best products from r/asheville

The Goodwill has potential, where books are concerned, if you are very lucky that day.

I once paid about three bucks for a copy of A Military History and Atlas of the Napoleonic Wars. My friend who does historical war gaming was very pleased.

Generally speaking you should be able to move the DSL modem and router to any phone jack location in the house. No special skills are needed.

As mentioned an upgraded router may also be a good idea, but as a last resort you might consider something like these NetGear Powerline Wireless-N Extenders.

Sure you could get something like this off Amazon. home depot and Lowes likely sell something similar. And it will not be near as accurate as a lab it will be close enough for your purposes. I would buy 2 kits. Test one as directed then test again after letting the water run constantly for 20 minutes. If the normal test detects Iron and the 20 minute flush does not it is likely something in the well or your lines. If they both test high it is likely the water.

I would skip the DIY. For the most accurate results NC Health Department http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/oee/wellwater/howtotest.html

For the wonks out there, check out the book "The High Cost of Free Parking." Made a lot waves when it came out in 2011.

BTW, for a really cool look at the early Civil War era history of the area, I highly recommend "Ghost Riders" by Sharon McCrumb. No-spoiler plot synopsis here. Essentially, it's a historical fiction that flips back and forth between modern times and the Civil War. Her books are always meticulously researched, and her writing captures the tone of the place and the people really well. I ended up reading it a few months before moving here, without realizing it was about this area, and when I got here it was like I already knew the area and the history/people that are just street names and statues to everyone else.

Maybe try a better antenna or moving your antenna higher? I have an antenna in my second floor window. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LAA45PA
It gets PBS, ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC and a few less common channels. In south Asheville.

I use this antenna and get about 15 stations. We get all the networks in HD and some other channels those show old westerns and unsolved mysteries type shows all day. Our house is south facing and this antenna is mounted on roof so that probably helps with our reception of Greenville based stations.

For your boyfriend link. I have saved myself at least a $1000 over the last 5 years.

Nice find, but I'm thinking by his description it would be more likely the frequently bought together recommendation of this device

I bought this book directly from the author. He also sells honey in McDowell county and will talk to you about his experience writing it.

There's also a book called Tar Heel Ghosts that I think has many of the same stories.

Hi there, I’m not a tradesman, but could this be the device you are searching for?
