I love a heart pounding, thrill seeking, pee in your pants ride as much as the next person, but really, the older I get the more I think do I really want to have my life in the hands of a 16 year old ?

They get these deals by doing to the pound where no one wants the dogs anymore - the tax sale.

right now the dog is a pup, i would do nothing right now, because most people don't realize how much work dogs really are, and get rid of them, hence pounds are over crowded. after the year lease is up evaluate the dogs temperament YOURSELF and see if dog maybe a threat to the public.

After combining the weight of components (i.e. insulation, membrane, fasteners, and adhesive), typical installation weight is less than 2 pounds per square foot (10 kg per square meter) when .060" thick membrane (typically weighing 1/3 pound per square foot or 1.6 kg per square meter) is used.
