misseva, it is definitely a nice green fully leafed tree - not stark black branches like I'm seeing. This may be the longest Winter ever.
Rodney, thank you for the sympathy. It actually happened again after the new underlayment and flooring went down. The second time it was a frozen drain pipe - imagine that. 30 below is not the coldest this drain has experienced, but apparently, it was cold enough. A heat tape will be installed before next Winter. A new water softener is in place so it's O rings should be good for a few years. Nasty, expensive mess, but no one was hurt and I have water. So many here are without water due to frozen pipes.
Back to SMs. Anyone near N Mich - SA has a National in a cabinet for $16.99. It turns very smoothly. No round front access plate so I wouldn't have know it was a National if it hadn't had "National' on the arm. Plain machine with a slight crinkle, but nice condition. No, I didn't look to see if the bobbin case was there as I'm not buying.
