Found the all new in wall Dan Ryan Homes Fire Suppression System!
If your house catches on fire eventually the bottle melts and the contents put out the fire!
They are geniuses for installing this in my new home walls.
also interesting is how they didn't do the screw guard or foam spray on the other side.. guess the bottle should have been on this side.

Anyone Using Milorganite for Vegetable Garden?
Comments (53)I am not saying they are the "bad" guys. I am sure all the lab people and the laymen working for these agencies are good and honest. I just don't trust the people in the upper echelon of these agencies. Most or maybe all of the people running and managing these agencies have conflict of interest due to the practice of revolving doors. When the results are not favorable to the corporate interests they represent, they suppress the release of such information or they totally omit that part of the information. Too much industrial and corporate interests are vested in the outcomes of these studies and lab results. There are also too many instances where the corporate interests are placed before the interest of public health. You can find these instances in the following: addition of flouride into public water supply, suppression and manipulation of data by the CDC regarding MMR vaccine's role in autism, glyphosate's safety when review of Monsanto's records tell a different result... Glyphosate (Roundup)was once touted as safe for human use and approved by EPA. I unfortunately had believed these claims and used it in my home garden. Now studies have shown that exposure to this chemical can cause cancer and kidney failure and other health problems. All I am doing here is trying to protect myself from such a repeat of an occurence. I don't want to find out a few years from now that Milorganite maybe toxic. By that time, the damage is already done and the soil in my garden contaminated. Look I am not trying to stop people from using this stuff. If anyone is comfortable and ok in using this in your home, by all means use it. I am just asking for independent lab testing and its results. If you can provide me with this information, I am grateful....See MoreTilling the soil
Comments (36)Biodiversity estimation based, I presume, on fossil pollen is a straw man here. Pollen is carried by various means far from its point of origin. Clearings, edges (which include stream banks as well as the boundries between different ecosystems), and areas disturbed by wildlife and the forces of nature hold the majority of the biodiversity. Climax forest is open and easy to walk through with very little biodiversity once you are deep in away from such edge zones. If absolutely undisturbed soil were the ideal growing medium you could drop your seeds onto the surface of the mulch or, for that matter, onto hard-packed ground and they would require no further care. Every time a no-till gardener pulls back the mulch to access the suitable growing soil beneath then digs into that soil to plant his seeds he's doing on a small scale what tilling does on a larger scale. Loosening the soil and working organic material into it is not evil. The hooves of the grazers, the feet of scratching birds, and the snouts and claws of the rooters and burrowers do those tasks daily. Tiller tines and plows are faster and more efficient, but they are not evil or even unnatural. With very few exceptions our food crops do not and cannot grow wild. They need some help -- whether that be from the traditional digging stick of Buffalo Bird Woman's grandmother or the fanciest setup John Deere can provide. Like any other activity tilling can be done right or wrong. Done wrong it is useless or even counter-productive. Done right it facilitates the luxuriant growth of our domesticated crops by loosening packed soil and incorporating beneficial organic material. In some cases a single tilling will be all that's needed for many years. In others more frequent tilling is needed. But talking as though disturbing the "natural" soil is an act of black-hearted malice is really quite silly when you consider that if you left nature to herself few, if any, of the crops we gardeners plant would grow where we live. Gardening is about creating an environment where our unnaturally productive and tasty plants will grow in a place they would not normally live. Tilling is a tool to assist that process. It is not the only tool. It is a tool that can be misused by the ignorant or careless. But it is a valuable tool that should no more be banned from the garden in the name of ideological purity than hammers should be banned from the literal toolbox because some people hit their thumbs or use them when they should be using screwdrivers or drills....See MoreNPK of compost
Comments (74)I agree with gardengal 48 and Jolj. And so do most university agriculture experts, extension offices, and documented and verifiable scientific studies. I am taking a course on this now. Oh, and to the comments about you can't have too much compost...well, that is inaccurate. One contributor said it is balance. I agree, but to know what the balance is or what is needed to maintain that balance requires testing. Most of us can't afford a complete soil test (it isn't just about NPK), so we guess as best we can. Sure, there are some NPK and other nutritional elements to compost, but compost is still considered an amendment, not a fertilizer. Part of it is WHEN or HOW do those nutrients become available to the plants. Anyway, this is several years after the original post, so I hope the poster is still gardening and is successful. :)...See MoreRust in 2007
Comments (38)I have kept close track of the rust in my garden this year. I plan to do as Ed suggests and cut back all of the foliage this winter, even the youngest seedlings. I have gotten rid of the daylilies that were most prone to rust. They were, IMO, rust magnets and not worth the trouble they were causing. The worst cultivars were: ABSOLUTE TREASURE (child of CHANCE ENCOUNTER) ALAKAZAM CHANCE ENCOUNTER (child of BARBARA MITCHELL) CHERRYSTONE (child of CREATIVE EDGE -->child of ADMIRAL's BRAID) DAVID KIRCHHOFF DESTINED TO SEE (child of CREATE YOUR DREAM --> child of ADMIRAL'S BRAID) DIXIELAND MEMORIES MAGIC CARPET RIDE (child of STUDY IN SCARLET) PEARLFISHER PINK (child of ADMIRAL'S BRAID) PRETTY GAUDY SHIMMERING ELEGANCE (child of SEMINOLE WIND --> child of BARBARA MITCHELL) SPACECOAST SURPRISE PURPLE SPACECOAST STARBURST STORM OF THE CENTURY (child of THUNDER AND LIGHTENING --> child of STUDY IN SCARLET) VOLUSIAN SPIDER (child of MOONLIT MASQUERADE) I have had some daylilies for over 4 years that have never had rust. And I have some that have have had very little rust. The little bit of rust I have found on the following DL's (if any) has been confined to the bottom leaves closest to the ground. When these leaves are removed, the clump has stayed rust free for an entire growing season. I consider the following to be rust resistant: BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS BELA LUGOSI BETTY WARREN WOODS BIG KISS CATHERINE WOODBERY CHARLIE PIERCE MEMORIAL HEARTS OF FIRE KWANSO VARIEGATA LADY NEVA LONG STOCKING MR LUCKY PEACOCK MAIDEN RED VOLUNTEER RUBY SPIDER SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC SILOAM PLUM TREE SPIDER MIRACLE SO MANY STARS WISEST OF WIZARDS ZONA ROSA There are an additional 70+ registered daylilies in my garden that I haven't listed. They aren't listed because they've been here less than 1 year ... or I have found them to be somewhere in the middle (they aren't good enough to call rust resistant nor bad enough to call rust magnets).

Run out of joist?
Stick a cardboard and tape it.-In my area in the at least one project they cut out all of the OSB in a I-Joistcenter to run ductwork in the middle of a span.
-Same project they used a dimple membrane around the foundation (knock off Delta MS) - good, but did not appear to apply any damp proofing.

Got the walls all cleaned out, patched and sealed. The electric Romex line in question from Ron has a red plastic streamer tied to it, not sure what that means... But you can see the PL 230 applied in the pic as well, making progress.
And I dont want to know whats in the bottle.. its pretty gross!
Did you notice how the nailer missed the entire length of the 2x4, the OSB can be pushed away very easily.
