Brush with Lead, never have another cavity!!
Comments (84)Really late comer. I recently found a toothpaste without fluoride - Spry. In my opinion fluorinating the public drinking water in unconscienceable. When I mentioned not using fluoride to my dentist, he was dead set against it. Course, he has put mercury in my and hundreds of other mouths plus been in favor of fluoride. So it would be quite a thing for him to change thinking on these things at this time in his career. Also he didn't know about the positive things for tooth and other health of xylitol. That really makes me wonder....See MoreNeed advice re under-sink water filtration systems please
Comments (11)Ours is from Multi Pure. We like it a lot. I found it on a website listing water filters that have NSF 53 certification. Most water filters, if they're certified at all, only have NSF 42 certification, which is called "aesthetic effects"--that means it removes contaminants that make the water look or taste funny, but not all the invisible ones that are actually the worst for your health. NSF 53 is for health effects, so it removes not only the things that affect look and taste, but also the other stuff. You can look on this site to find NSF 53 filters of whatever type you want (undercounter, on counter...) and it shows you what contaminants they remove: http://www.nsf.org/certified/dwtu/ The reason we went with this rather than with a bigger-name brand is because I just couldn't find actual information about the big-name brands. I wanted a list of specifically what they removed, and how much of it they removed. That doesn't seem like a lot to ask, but surprisingly, the big-name brands don't list that info anywhere! That made me kind of not trust them, actually, so we went with one that both (a) provided that information and (b) had been third-party certified (by the NSF) so we could be sure that info was accurate. It was a very easy install for the plumber and my husband could probably have done it himself, but we just wanted it done professionally. The water is great--we did a blind taste test on each other after it was installed, and we could tell tap water from this water, no problem. Our model is the 1200EL, and we chose a brushed nickel faucet--you can get any of about six different finishes. We have a 23" sink at the moment and the unit fits fine in the space underneath. We didn't have to remove any of our other stuff (our cleaning products etc. are under there too). Here is a link that might be useful: MultiPure water filters...See MoreFor those who use a cast-iron woodstove humidifier...
Comments (10)You'd be best to invest in a trivet to go under your pot/kettle. Our woodstove has a rust spot from where our kettle has boiled over/out the spout. The water will still boil, and sometimes spit/boil over, but your humidifier won't be sitting in direct contact with the water. Our woodstove has a glass front door, which had spitting water pour over, but luckily the glass held up to the thermal shock. I am very careful now to not over fill the kettle. When funds allow, I will be investing in an enameled one, as we love the extra humidity in here as we heat with wood. Any of the cast iron ones friends have are all the same eventually..rusty red and rather grotty looking if upkeep lapses. Cinnamon sticks or even vanilla are randomly added to mine. Love it, but hate the burnt smell if the water boils dry and the cinnamon sticks (which as pointed out on a different thread, probably aren't real cinnamon) burn. I fill our 2 litre kettle 4-5 per day as needed. Enjoy!...See MoreNeed help with exterior pre-cast stairs
Comments (1)I've put these on new homes and probably overkill it as I didn't want to get any callbacks in the warranty period. I dug down below the frost line, set SonoTubes at the four corners and filled them with concrete. Or alternately I'd dig out the entire area to undisturbed soil, pour a footing and build up with blocks. Then the cast steps are set on top. In your case, a lever and a fulcrum--a long steel bar and a large boulder--can be used to pry up the low side, then place concrete blocks--say solid 4" ones laid flat--under to level....See Morescibidr
