What's So Wrong With Invasives?
Comments (146)Well as for this question: " Next, I'll list reasons (the ones that come to mind right now) for and against introducing invasive plants." For the ones you list, 3 is a pretty good one. If it is already here, and already in a heavily altered landscape that will never be natural, then it is alright to use. Number 6 is good, too-since humans have changed everything, these invasive plants have found a niche in the new environment we have created. Nature has a hard time existing where I live, 95% of the county is in intense agriculture, 80% is plowed field of corn and soybeans, so sometimes people's views might be different because what they see on daily basis. Now with high prices of land and commodity prices, even the naturalized species are being destroyed, leaving less room even for the more adaptable species of animals....See MoreHELP!

Comments (4)i dryed up the wood and I guess I shouldn't of becuase he wont do anything now. Which brings me to my next question Isn't that a Risk of mold? It's a risk of mold IF it stays damp for a while. If the leak isn't happening, and the area stays dry, there's no risk of mold. If the leak happens again, call him back (and leave the puddle on the floor). **you might post over at the Plumbing forum (see "Other Forums" link at the top of the main page) and see if anyone can suggest any sort of tape or something you could wrap around the outside that would stop the leak. the BIGGEST issue w/ the leak is that it will damage the cabinet--and has already. You don't want them to be on your case bcs you didn't get it fixed before damage occurred (seems to me thats a tenant's responsibility, to alert management when repairs are needed so management can maintain the value of their property). I might call again, and say, "look, I found damp spots again, and obviously there is a leak ,because of damage. I don't want YOUR STUFF to get further ruined; don't you want to fix it? If you wont' come and just tighten or redo all the connections under the sink, then I want you to sign a waiver that says I'm not responsible for any water damage under the sink." Rusty radiators won't hurt you; I've never read anything about dangers of inhaling iron--I don't think it creates fumes anyway--feel free to use them. If they look bad, ask management to come and scrape and paint them. As for the carpet, sure you can ask. But if your rent is lower than in the other units, they may tell you that new carpet will cost you a higher rent. I would just ask them--point out that you're paying the market rate, and your carpets are disgusting; their agent acknowledged this at the beginning (though you accepted those carpets as is, and they may say, that's the contract) But I don't think any of those things are particular health hazards. Maybe your best bet is to start looking at other apartments. See what you can get elsewhere for the same money you are spending now. If it's better (even if it's just in better condition), that gives you a bargaining tool. You can either just move when your lease is up, or threaten to do so as a tool to get them to make your place look nice. They'd have to change that carpet for a new tenant anyway, plus they might have some down-time between tenants....See MoreSo what's wrong with tire shiners?
Comments (8)I saw the thread when using google this way* to search for tires. I'm new to garden web and want to help where I can and learn when I can. Here's what I wrote just to help out anyone who's curious. Maybe this group wants to try it on an old piece of tire they lay in the sun for a year. Here's my opinion. -- Rubber and glycerine - Tire dressing / shine - MSDS shows it's easy to make at home I'm a degreed scientist in chemistry and electronics. Material science is my background. Recently I was curious about what is in tire dressing. Typically it's a small amount of a silicon 1-4% and or glycerine 10-15% the balance is water. Glycerine can be bought nearly anywhere such as a pharmacy . We'll ignore using silicone for this discussion. However there's no reason you could not spray a bit on after or before you being applying this mixture we make using water and glycerine. Silicone does not mix with water or glycerine in my experience. The type used in tire dressing has been modified so as to be miscible (mixable) Since we use 10% glycerine in water you could make 8 oz for literally pennies. I need your help. I'm disabled and it's not easy to just hop in the car and travel to the store. Would a few of you like to try making this inexpensive tire dressing and letting us know how it woks for you? IF you need help once started I'll be here for you. Glycerine is made of carbon mostly. It mixes with water easily. 1 oz in 8 oz of water is about 15 percent. That would make 9 oz. Use 1 oz on the tires and you'll have an 8oz container left for the next use. There's no reason to refrigerated it. It will remain stable. If you're willing let's hear from your experience. If I can do it myself I'll post here what my results are. Don't forget to take photos and even camporee what you made to what you buy. Thanks Andre PS. If you have any interest to copy or make your own product that you feel you pay too much for let me know via a thread called DIY home chemicals I'll help you research how to make it yourself, safely and as close to the original product's performance. The MSDS sheets are the key to finding how to make up your mixture. But occasionally mixing certain liquids and powders are difficult. They sometimes require special methods but nothing that you can't manage in your kitchen or garage. Or outdoors if the liquid is flammable. Here is a link that might be useful: Glycerine tire dressing On Google...See MoreSo what went wrong with this ipe deck?
