How often do you turn your compost pile?
Comments (42)I moved into my house last year. So have making a pile of boxes, as we slowly unpack and get settled. The recycle bin is always full so I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. In addition we have 6 people, 4 dogs, and 2 cats living here so the waste bin is also always full, and with a ever growing pile next to it. This year the spring rain hit, and within 2 days we had weeds up to our knees. To say the least the green waste bin couldn't handle the load, so last week we started our first compost heap. Until yesterday it was only a pile of green weeds and roots, and I turned it every time I added more. I didn't know about the brown waste, and thought I still had to put the cardboard in the recycle. :) Well now that I know its 2 brown : 1 green, I'm glad I have so much card board, and junk mail. ;) Yesterday I didn't know about layering, so I turned the brown with the green. I don't have a shredder so this was difficult. In 24 hours I've learned so much about it. Now I have a 3'x3'x2' heap with the original green waste on the bottom, and lots of brown on top, I also just been throwing my kitchen waste in it, no meat or bones, but just about everything else. I also found a bag of rotting chicken feed, a stack of soaked egg crates and a bin of mealworms and beetles from a failed project to raise mealworms and crickets from last year. lol. In storage I had an old thick and really heavy area rug that my mother once loved, but is now so stained that I had no trepidations on using it to cover my pile. We still have 2/3 of the weeds to go, and at least 2x that mass of boxes from the move. So by the end of this week my heap will probably be about 4'x4'x'4, if not larger, luckily the area I have for it is 7'x7'. The funny thing is our yard is very small, so I only have room for the one pile, and I'm planning on going hot, mostly because I understand and trust the bacterial process better for it than the cold. So I mostly expect to turn it whenever it gets cold. Even better though and maybe even a little saddening is that I'm actually excited to have a way to dispose of all of our waste, that the city's bins just couldn't handle. Ok done with my book....See MoreHow often do you speak with the builder/contractor?
Comments (8)I would just ignore the attitude and stay true to your current habits. You are doing everything and more that a builder could expect from a customer. Remember, YOU are the one paying the money! He should be mindful that you are the paying customer, you have every right to call him with questions. If he wants to work in a service industry he should be mindful of his attitude. I am building with one of my husband's oldest friends. I talk to him almost daily and sometimes three times a day. Because of a personal relationship I am able to ask anything on my mind and I drive him crazy with frequent e-mails. He is happy to have our business though, and he knew ahead of time I would be this way. lol So we are good all around. Back to you though- Don't worry what he thinks about you! You pay your bills promptly, turn in your selections in advance, so he has nothing to complain about where you are concerned....See MoreHow often do you use your airbath or does the novelty wear off??
Comments (21)Hmmmm. My air tub is something I used almost every night! I love it, use it and never get tired of it. I find it quite easy with regard to maintenance as well (I also like bath oils to add to it which can leave a film on it). The nice thing is once I'm out, All I do is turn the hand held sprayer (at the edge of the tub deck) and using the hot water I quickly spray the perimeter of the tub for no more than 2 or 3 minutes and its spotless. It's always looks brand new - maybe because I use it every day or because I just run the hot sprayer over it as soon as I get out. It also has an automatic cleaner that blows the air "lines" clear so there is no water sitting around anywhere. It's an oceania 72" deep air tub. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!...See MoreHow often do you use your airbath or does the novelty wear off??
Comments (24)I renovated my bathroom a year ago and went through this decision. I went to a showroom that had an airtub on the floor to test. I think if you wore a bathing suit, they would let you get in -- I didn't. As soon as I heard the noise from the motor I knew it wouldn't work for me. It would have shaken my small house off its foundation. I went with a deep wide soaking tub called a Kohler Expanse. It's fine. I prefer showers. I love my hand held shower head and can adjust it to pound on sore muscles. Maybe twice a year I wish I had a jetted (not air) tub. If I have pulled a muscle or my back is aching a good hot pounding would feel wonderful. An air tub is more like sitting in a glass of champagne -- it bubbles, it doesn't massage sore muscles. I think a hot tub would be fun. Here is a link that might be useful: kohler expanse tub...See MoreUser
