You are sure proud of that mouse in your pocket. Apparently you sales

So. You got your knickers all in a twist. I have owned businesses in St
Paul, Benson and St Cloud. We don't ranch or farm the Badlands, but you
are very welcome to. I do have both an MSEE and a Masters license. But I
do feel that HVAC Electrical is HVAC's business and expertise. I also
hold a Minnesota Boiler license. My state does not issue that one and
requires it for boiler work. I do have a General contractors license
with a 2 digit number. As for the electric furnace.. Do you remember the
Rhondic(sic) thermal wall design? Frank Lloyd Wright has an interesting
House in Wisconsin that is partially heated by this passive system.
