For those of us who go often to The Gulf and see what's going on there, the
45K vs 800 looks like a pretty smart investment!

That's like buying a 4 wheel drive pick up truck, trailer, a couple of chain
saws, and 10 acres of wood lot so you could heat his home with a wood
burning stove. A friend of mine up in Western NY state did that and had
$50,000 invested in the venture. At the time it was costing him about $1000
in heating oil per year. The second year he did this, he had a chimney fire
and had to replace his chimney pipes and redecorate his family room. Whatta
guy!!
