HiI am starting out, and looking for the "typical" heating oil usage per unit for 3 and 4 unit apartment buildings in Maine.

Saturday my home oil furnace went out and after screwing around with it for several minutes, I determined that it must be the Primary Oil Control.

Even homes built in the 80's have had violations.

I don't think so, there has always be regulation and deregulations; look at the way the old coal mine owners would exploit the workers they had in the mines, the old oil barons, the tycoons who built the railroads, these people had children working for them, are those actions right or wrong?

A lot of factors like the price of oil and interest rates all came together for one perfect storm and BOOM.

I've got three rentals with underground oil tanks because when I got them they all heated with oil.

If he was there for more than a few hours the oils and fluids of the body start to soak into the carpet or floors.

How much do you think the oil companies would pay for some of that land in ANWR?
