I still have the legacy can in my garage, and the Coleman lantern–that was camping!

Very nice dining table! Unfortunately it is too large for our place.

You can still buy white gas?! I remember when I was a kid my father used it for Coleman camping stoves but I haven’t noticed it around for decades. Of course I haven’t looked either! 🙂

I have houseguests coming up this weekend from the valley with 5 older children. I wanted to have a campfire for them in a portable metal firepit on my concrete driveway after dinner one evening. They are not allowed to have sweets of any kind. Any ideas for what they can roast over the fire to make it memorable? thanks!

rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) works great on hard surfaces like cars, windows etc but I don’t know if it works on clothes. Never tried it on clothes or shoes. Also it is cheap!

Ive had success with a product called Goo-Gone to remove sap from skin and clothing. On shoes – it can get pretty thick so scrape as much as possible off first.

I have used silicone spray in the past with good results.

Cedar sap is water soluble.

Pine sap is a problem. Acetone will remove the sap, if you don’t have any use finger nail polish remover.

Other ideas would be welcome.

Let’s move this topic from “Dining Room Table 4-Sale”

To “What to do with tree sap”

Does anyone have a solution to getting the pitch off the soles of shoes? It seems like the pines and firs are working overtime! I’ve tried scraping and alcohol and that works a little.

Our cabin already had a central vacuum when we moved in. We love it–but I’m not sure how expensive they are to install. Pros: quiet; easy to use; lightweight; very strong suction; large grit storage can in the basement that rarely needs to be emptied; has an attachment for carpets; the “electrical wires” are integral with the vacuum hose–so you don’t need power cords. Cons: you need to store a relatively long suction hose (but there is a handy wall hanger in the closet); even though we have multiple vacuum outlets, there is a “far” corner of our house that we cannot reach. If I was building a new house–I would definitiely install a central vacuum system.
