RADON!

Hello, it's Steve. Here is the one and only public service annoucement you probably ever hear from me. Get your house checked for Radon. When we moved in two months ago, our inspector recommended to us to get our house checked for Radon since the Kansas City area was considered a Hot Spot for Radon gas. Radon is a bi-product of Uranium and can also be exerted if you have a lot of Granite in your house. We don't have a whole lot of Granite, but decided it would be a good idea to buy the $10 testing kit from Home Depot and mail it off to some testing lab in New Jersey. The test reults came back and we are off the charts for Radon in our basement. It is kind of scary since that is where we have been spending most of our time the past 2 months and since Radon poisoning is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. We hired our inspector to come out and do a more scientific test and the results were the same. So now we have to pay to have a company drill a 4" pipe in the concrete slab and run it through the walls to the roof. The pipe has a fan on the top of it to draw the gas to atmosphere. So…go to Lowes and get your house tested for Radon!

In other news, we were treated with 4 inches of snow last Saturday. So naturally, we went sleding down the backside of Raintree Lake dam. Good times then....not so good times for the body the next few days to follow. Oh to be 18 again.

And here is a picture of the ACDC concert in Omaha, Nebraska. Thanks Murphy for the killer tickets!
