Temperature, disaster rates, and government intervention have a big effect.

Like this post if you live here and enjoy that we're in December and temperatures are in the 60s-70s during the day! 

For speed & convenience I only use the premixed mastic & grout as depending on ambient temperature the mixed powder stuff has been a big problem.

Then it went out again two more times, and it happened when the outside temperature was below zero.Yesterday and today there were four broken pipes. 

Moisture is going to form if you have large temperature differentials.

I'm tired of the Green crowd telling me that the Earth is 100,000,000 million years old and that it has gone through cooling and warming periods thousands of times, but then telling me that a supposed .1 increase in temperature over the last 20 years is my fault because I have an SUV.

Since the earth is coming out of an ice-age (climate change) and temperatures are rising, Big Bear's snowfall levels will certainly feel the effects.

Aloha,Assuming you have some type of alarm system in the property, you should fairly easily be able to come up with a temperature alarm that could reside IN the refrigerator, and communicate with the alarm panel via battery wireless.

The bamboo looks nicer, but had a lot more issues (probably due to how it was installed).When the wood started to shift naturally due to variations in temperature and humidity, cracks between joints started becoming more pronounced.

You have to have the flooring in the house for at least a few days to aclimate to the indoor temperature and humidity.Good luck!
