Filling Up With FUEL New Jersey and Oregon do not allow people to pump their own gas. These states will ticket people that break the law and I have heard that fines can be $1,000. I suppose you should just relax and let the professionals do it. Back in 1951 the law was passed restricting people from pumping fuel at service stations.

Portland Haunted Houses   This is the time of year that folks start to pull out the holiday bins of decorations down from the rafters.    My children would not let me sleep right until I carried all the stuff to the edge of our garage. We lifted the lids off bins as if they were sealed tombs and the scary decorations emerged.    We spent hours hanging fun for everyone. They even talked me into doing the spider webs from hedge to hedge. The neighbors have accepted this with positive comments and thumbs up from many people.   I think we will be taking everything down on Saturday provided the weather's not horrible preventing us from packing the bins of SPIRIT HALLOWEEN away for another year.   Please send me your pictures and I will share them on our BLOG if you like.   LAKEOSWEGOVIEW.COM... 10/28/2014

      Classis car owners want to protect their investment from the elements and most folks in living in the Pacific Northwest appreciate pulling into a garage in order to unload the groceries from the automobile. Garage space is coveted in many of Portland's neighborhoods. Homes in Hillside, a neighborhood of Portland, demand a premium price for parking space on the property and can make or break a buyers decision to purchase based on garage space.
