I found an informative website/forum on trees, plants, shrubs, etc. Website is: www.au.gardenweb.com Don't be thrown when you see australian trees, etc. Click on the US and Canada site. I have...

Thanks for the input. I can plant ornamental trees and pines, but I still need to keep them at least 50 feet or more from the leech field.

We mash all the pieces together in warm water.

I know you are not supposed to plant trees, etc. over the leach field or nearby. This poses a threat to the field due to roots invading. Is there a safe distance away from the field to plant...

I used cloth diapers on my 3 and 5 year old from birth until they were potty trained. I am expecting my third and will continue to use cloth. I purchased my diapers at Sears and Toys R Us. Found...

Thanks for the info. Common sense solution to the problem.

My sump pump pipe outdoors is 48 inches below grade. My sump kept running, but water was not leaving the pit. Come to find out the outdoor pipe is frozen. What do you do?

I too considered using ICF construction. Actually had the prices broken down between stick framing and ICF. I am a true believer in ICF and the energy efficiency involved, but the builder had...

I have seen a setup as you describe. The builder of ICF homes swears by it. They state it is extremely energy efficient/cost savings as much as 30-50%. At the time, I decided to use a Geothermal...

Thanks for the info. I will disc again and plant. I wasn't aware they use "roundup ready/genetically modified" soybeans. Learn something new everyday. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif <font...

part of my land is farmed and they rotate soybeans and corn each year. Well, we finally built our home and I'm now ready to prepare about 1 acre with topsoil and seed. We have already tilled/disc...

I also have the Water Furnace brand of pump. Noise, as you say is a factor inside. In the future, I will also obtain a unit for domestic hot water. This wasn't in my budget at the time, but do see...

Common sense reasons for grout. Hey, what is the best sealer for grout? I picked up some sealer from TileLab(Home Depot), but unsure if it is a good quality product. I compared it to others, and...

I have poured concrete walls, but was considering Insulated concrete forms for the basement and the entire house. Price for basement was 10% higher for the ICFs vs. poured concrete. Reason to go...

Purpose of grout? Never thought about it. All I know is you are supposed to grout with ceramic. My thought is to provide more stability to the tile, hold it in place. Also, for aesthetics (that is...

It can be added at a later date without difficulty. Cons, I wish I purchased the model with hot water on demand. Water is hot 24 hours/day. Now for the system to produce hot water, it needs to be...

High speed internet? probably do?? but I do not have time to check it out and sit at the computer at home yet. I get into work early to review this site and TBN. Too much work to do--ceramic tiling,...

I'm in Ash Twnship. We have a 300 ft. horizontal loop in the back of the house which is 10 ft in the ground. The loop draws in heat from the earth in the winter to heat the house and in the summer...

Just checking to see if there is anyone out there who has a geothermal heating and cooling system and also NuWool insulation. We just built a home and installed both. We love it. Haven't gone...

Go for the ceramic tile. I just layed about 750 sq ft. of tile plus ceramic baseboard. If you can, use the larger tiles (if the room can handle it). the job goes much quicker. A wet saw is...
