Use of Sta-Bil and/or Seafoam gas stabilizers/cleaners
Comments (23)When I worked as a mechanic at a Buick dealership, some of the old mechanics would pour water down the carburetor VERY SLOWLY. The water turns to steam and the shock knocks off the carbon. When the old ladies would bring in those beautiful Buick Electras and Riverias because they idled rough,the Service Manager would take the car out on the freeway and really get after it. I went with him once and you could actually hear the carbon particles tinkling out the exhaust pipes. He would ask if they were burning Ethel as recommended in those 11:1 high compression engines. The customers jaw would jut out and they would say they will only burn regular. Idiots. I think adding transmission fluid to your gas would only carbon up your engine even more, if it did anything. Sorry off topic. I use Stabil and fill the gas tank to the top to prevent condensation from forming when I park my GT for the winter. (I empty my weedwacker,leaf blower and chain saw whenever they won't be used for several weeks.) Six months later the GT starts right up. I don't have any experience with SEaFoam....See MoreQuestion for BARCO (and anyone who has StoneScapes)
Comments (18)Mine was that "am I going to regret plain white plaster" thread and I think some folks who had had both did say they were the same. Barco is right - Stonescapes is cheaper - PebbleTech would have cost an extra $1500. My PB told me it was essentially the same - the pebbles all come from the same factory, the main difference was that PebbleTech really police their installers, which I'm sure is why they have such a great reputation and so many thrilled custmers. However, the StonesScapes rep couldn't have been nicer and more concerned when I spoke to him. Unfortunately, his hands were tied, as to get him out to look at the pool, I first had to go through my PB company (the GM told me he'd been told by the pool start-up guy that I had the best plaster he'd ever seen!), then the plaster company (who came out without telling me and removed "a tiny little leaf" that was stuck in the plaster and was causing the rough spot I spoke about). I was pretty mad about it so the GM has agreed to meet me tomorrow with the StoneScape rep. I was worried that maybe I was being too much of a perfectionist, and I would get the same sneers, and looks of astonishment that I have had from the PB before when thing weren't right (and there have been many!). Anyway, if they say it's okay, I'll live with it. My pool is beautiful, and when the waterfall is running you can't see it anyway. Gina - I do think you are right about them wanting to do the right thing, and I'll certainly sing their praises every chance I get when this is resolved. Also, that is so great that PebbleTech fixed your spot and saved your water. I must remember to ask them to save mine too - I haven't even had the water bill for the fill-up yet and I certainly didn't want to do that again!...See MoreQuestioning Avon Order My Friend Got. Need Opinions(long post)
Comments (25)Sure enough...everytime I post something on Craigslist, or even randomly, I get those stupid things....not the deaf mother, but the scammers.... I sold Sarah Coventry in the late '70's..I rec'd a letter in the mail saying that this man had got my name and wanted to order, could I send him a book. I thought sure..yeah...never see that again...he was in a larger town 25 mi. away... I actually got a rather large And I thought I had wasted a sales catalog.... Now the scammers would put a real customer to shame having to prove their innocence......See MoreWho has made and/or used biochar?
Comments (7)I've used it in both clay and sandy soils, For the clay I've done what tox does and used what is left from a wood burning furnace. This is a moderate amount added to a large garden, so not sure what benefit it has been. In the sand, it is in a small raised bed I tend for a few weeks in spring and fall at the beach, and I just go gather the char from the fire pits the rowdy teens have built in the sand. Unfortunately, like any ammendment, it is hard to know whether it's the char or the compost or whatever else you are adding that is improving the soil, but the soil in that little raised bed is definitely a different color than the surrounding soil now, and grows much better than it did a few years ago. I first heard about bio-char when someone who was absolutely crazed about its value spoke about it at a gathering I was at. He was involved in the initial research on it, and his lecture was technical but very convincing. As a result, I am always on the lookout for "free" char to add to the garden, though I have not been motivated to make it....See More
