And the idea is a large, heat-proof tile with       2 bricks and you put a flowerpot suspended over the bricks and tea       lights inside. I'm not even thinking it's going to be a great source       of heat, but it's better than nothing. And it'll be a source of       light, too, much safer than a candle in a holder, I believe. I have a       supply of candles and tea lights, just need a terracotta flower pot.              Hey, not everyone has tons of money and at least this might help.              For light, there's also the Crisco and candle bit. If I put in a       large coffee tin, might prove as a good source of light. So I bought       a tub of Crisco and a package of tapered candles from Walmart.              If all this never gets needed, great! But what if something is needed       and I didn't have these things on hand. People learned from the power       outages in Texas a few months back. Good to listen to what they have       to say as bargain solutions.              Thanks.              ----------------------              What matters is that you are willing to experiment, risk failure and try       again. I call that the Re in Research.              My degree is in Chemistry. I found that all you can expect from the first       few attempts at something new is to learn how to do it better.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
