Oh and I forgot to say that was a real ad on craigslist. I got lots of responses. seems like there are 2 magic numbers with beater trucks. $700 and $1600. all the responses had the same prices. here are 2 of the many Responses: I have a 1992 ford f150.The radiator hose broke the other night and went next day to fix and sure enough someone stoll the battery broke out the side windows and tried to break out the windshield and stole the spare tire.I used it to haul garbage to dump and to part time job.It has 245,000 miles transmission is rebuilt new water pump.Asking 700.00 or best offer. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I have a 1979 Chevolet longbed truck it has a 350 motor auto. trans. camouflage in color it runs and drives great I am asking 700.00 for it if you are interested let me know I can be reached at xxxxxxxxxxxxx My boss told me to check out the last one because the year of the truck means it does not have strict emmissions (we have to have inspections), they made zillions of these trucks so the parts are easy to find and fairly inexpensive, it has a long bed which means I can haul more and this will come in handy if I need to haul full sheets of plywood PLUS it runs. downside is that it is a gas guzzler and the color. uggh I feel like CRAP so I got off work early. If I feel better this weekend I will go check it out.

I don't know what kind of algaecide you're using, I assume you're dosing correctly. Most algaecides are tricky. Too much and the fish die, not enough and the algae doesn't die. When you say white foam and white globs it makes me think it is killing some algae. That doesn't mean it disappears. Like when you mow the lawn the grass clippings are "dead" but they still look like grass for days. Algae can stay looking like algae for weeks. Algaecide only kills some species. Mat algae and non-green algae seem to do OK. Algaecide isn't like chlorine in a pool. You can buy other chemicals like oxidizers to "burn up" organic matter. But again they're not magic. It's kind of a lot of work to get good results. To me in a 3000 gal pond vacuuming/scooping out algae and waste is way easier. My web page on vacuums. I consider Microlift type products to be a scam. The idea that bacteria have to be introduced into a pond is not something I can imagine. In this case you also have a bog where waste collects and extremely low (like zero) O2 so very slow to decompose. A bog can hold a lot of waste too so that's just a lot to handle even if you believe in such products. It's just way more effective to remove the waste from the pond than trying to somehow break it all down into nothing in the pond. Kind of a losing battle. But I know there are lots of people who swear by these products. And even if you do you dissolved organic compounds shoot way up which gives you other problems. The only thing I can think of is it must be expectations. Another person could have the same results as you and say the bacteria in a bottle worked great. Don't know what the deal is.

Your spaces always look nice, Mona, and so will the next one. While planning to move I found 3 birds' nests around our last place, and I tried to imagine what they portended. One was a big robin's next with a huge hole, one was a tiny, perfect thing that would be for a finch-size bird. We considered all options, and looked at homes that would be comparable to both of these, but wisely (I hope!) ended up with something in between. We've been living in furnished rentals for a year now and all our feathers are in storage. I think they'll be pretty stinky by the time we unload them this summer into the next house, and even though I got rid of lots of stuff I still have way more than will fit.

Homebody, In the opposite white wall situation from you. Just moved in to an empty, all white walled townhouse/apartment. It has lovely wood floors and architectural details (like yours), and I hope to keep the light bright feel by decorating with pops of color. Different style than what you are going for, as I am going eclectic furnishings from flea markets and Mexico. But I think the color combos and other concepts might be similar. I only have a camera on my phone, so the pictures are a bit grainy. The dining area is complete, but there is a photo of my bedroom & living room that need help if any one has any suggestions.
