Curiosity overload on My part;;

If it is normally ummm normal under a home could installing a ground vapor barrier add to dry rot possibility?

Personally,I would hold on to the $1800. Sounds like the most important work is done and the 2nd most(leveling)is in the works.

"Dry as a bone" is pretty hard to argue with in My book.

The unemployed percentage might call You "The *lucky* guy with the pail". The more Charlie Rose,Nightly Biz Report,NBC,CBS,and almost all the others interview people it is obvious much of the shitsmere could have been avoided. One theory put out by a founder of Netscape(Andreessen)on Charl...

Sounds like good exercise if He lifts with His legs and not His back. :) It would also circulate the water and help with aeration,,not that important to the pool analogy but change it to a lake brimming with fish(consumers)that need to breathe and the picture is different,unless You happen to be the...

Hey oldfart,I just bought a 16oz bag of Gambler tobaccy for $23.50. The tube loading machines they had next to it were pricier than I was told so I didn't even look at the filter tubes. I did look at them online and they are dirt cheap,under $15 for 1000 filter tubes. Zigzag paper hand rolling is no...

If the caulk is dried out then an old knife might not work so good. Maybe try a 1" chisel and hammer. Easy does it. Try using the bevel of the chisel laid toward the wood,,the flat side with the sharp edge might dig in if You don't. How to use a chisel without gouging is tougher to explain than...

Hi Teresa,TY for the info. Hi Yanita,don't take this as gospel by any stretch,but,I think there are water filters that work to 1 micron,if I remember right that filters out nearly everything. I have 000 recent research on it. If it would be safe to use it might be cheaper than the water bill in the ...

Here is everything You need to get round the high cost. Rolling your own will have the benefit of getting around the nasty taste of FSC paper too.

Yeah,I spent a few months in FL in the early 90s,humidity and rain can be bad here but it seemed much worse in Fort Lauderdale. My skirting is among the best steel sheeting available,it sat out in the long grass/weeds,shaded by trees and bushes,in the rain/snow for 10 years and shows no rust,heck Ha...

Shading the skirting is original/primary aim.Grape vines could be kept low and thick enough on a 3' tall trellis to help I think.

Birds crappin purple doesn't sound like a good thing at all! High maintenance doesn't work either. Plant,fertilize,water,harvest,shred,smoke sounds good to Me. :)

Well I am interested in dual purpose tho,shading and smoking. If successful growing then I would learn to dry and process(shred) for personal use. I suppose to shade the skirting I would need more than I could ever smoke. I have also considered grapes for shade and making wine but might go with toba...

I guess I got the better of the only two the local walmart stocks then. One complaint with the RCA's "better remote" tho is there is no recall/last channel button,one of My favorite features on any remote. Also the point button is in a very crappy position for those occasions when Ya want ...
