Sue , -itch- Puppies are more then useless in a vegetable garden. They destroy plants, dig holes and s(h)it where they like, leaving some reasoning behind of which you seem to have enough of. I feel sorry for you that you couldn't understand the most simple instruction...you must be absorbed by the smell of all that puppy or bull reasoning you write. There is until now only one video and that video has NOT been pulled from YouTube nor from YouStupide. It's there as usual. The photos are far good enough. We even avoided photos by Cartier-Bresson, Mapplethorpe and Avedon. By the way , Cartier-Bresson was a gardener and grew photographs. The truth is: Your spanish knowledge is very poor. Inspite that your translation of the spanish sites is reduced to contemporary poetry, you have misunderstood the content. A right translation would have been: Save a lot of water with no investment, recicle bottles, help the poor, better vegetables, less work, more money etc. The tomatos have no virus, and rats and rabbits are not spying the solar drip irrigation because they can't destroy it. Like you can't destroy an idea by trying to mislead others with wrong information. Rats, rabbits and puppies away from gardens and away from computers!

Building inspectors enforce code during the design, construction, and inspection phases. At least they should. If work was done without a permit, obviously they can't. And yes, if code has changed subsequent to the original construction, "non-compliant areas" are grandfathered. Out of code conditions can remain when new and additional work is done, unless the new work is extensive. In that case, the inspection department can require that the old non-compliant areas be brought into compliance, bringing the entire structure "up to code". In general, home inspectors don't enforce or quote code. Some might. In general all they do is tell you which systems in the house function properly, which don't, and what systems may need replacement in the near future. Realize that most home inspectors want to "inspect" just enough to give a warm fuzzy. "HVAC works fine". "Roof may need replacement in the next three to five years." For the most part they don't want to use a fine-tooth comb and be so nit-picky and list so much "non-critical" minutia that kill the transaction. The heat exchanger in the boiler is cracked and leaking carbon monoxide into the ducts? Yes. A cabinet knob that needs tightening? No. If an overzealous home inspector got into the habit of being so negative with minor things that he scared buyers off and repeatedly killed real estate transactions, that inspector would not get any referrals from realtors. So for the most part home inspectors look at the overall condition of the house, and not so much at specific details of the house. And they generally don't quote code. Mongo

I have hard water too so I know how ya feel. The most effective way to deal with really hard water and laundry is to get some sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). If you do not want to use phosphate, your only alternatives are Washing soda, Borax, or Oxi Clean. You said your son had sensitivities and you were trying to convert your home to less chemicals. You also said your husband likes scented laundry. Your only solution for that may be something like Seventh Genration Laundry detergent or some other natural brand that has a scent. You can also buy natural fabric softeners that have scents if that helps. If you can not get a hold of natural fabric softner, your only alternative would be vinegar in the rinse. However, I have no idea if that would take the perfumed smell out of the laundry. Personally, if it was me. I would buy an all natural unscented detergent to wash my clothes. Go buy some febreeze and hand it to my husband and inform him, "Your son has sensitivities. You want scented clothes? Here ya go. Just don't spray it by him." (I have a husband that can be a big baby too, as I like to term it. HA! He had a fit when I got our new front loader and I couldn't use his favorite detergent anymore. I basically told him if he didn't like it he could take the laundry to a laundry mat and wash it there. Of course he said no...so I told him to shut up about it then. Not a complaint since. HEE! HEE!) As for the shower here are some things you can try that have worked for me. Buy some Charlies Soap All purpose Cleaner. You can get it at www.charliesoap.com . If you do not want to do that then get a scrubby sponge and some Ivory or Lye bar soap. Rub the scrubby side of the sponge on the soap and scrub the glass doors and get it good and sudsy. Do a small section at a time so the soapy suds do not have time to dry. Then rinse in hot water. Then go over it again with full strength white distilled vinegar. This works well on greasy stove tops too. Actually you can use Ivory or Lye soap to wash everything and anything if ya know what you are doing. I had to when I was first married and my hubs and I bought and moved into our first home. Didn't have money for fancy cleaning supplies so I washed everything with ivory soap. LOL! It worked.

I've always loved this one...and yes it is pricey! Google it and you can find it elsewhere for a little bit cheaper. As I recall, there was some sight that had it in white, black and this distressed color. I never bought it cause I've not had the right bathroom for it. The one I did buy came from Lowe's and it matches the vanity I bought there. It was substantially cheaper then the one I linked, but I've just always loved this one. I will try to find a link to the one I bought.....I'm not sure it's on line. HTH, pup Here is a link that might be useful: Cottage valet
