As of Jan 1, 2004 the EPA is banning CCA-treated lumber for residential uses. I'm sure you already know this. Some specifics I recently read. To answer your questions, the "new" stuff has been...

Use the blocks - they also can be easily adjusted if something floats too badly.

Now that's funny. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

My place is VERY close to Mt. Rainier. I can drive to the lodge at paradise in 45 minutes. What a place. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

Austi012,

Please leave Mt. Rainier alone. If you removed it then my stunning view would be no more. At least my property taxes might go down.

Pat,

Yep, I definitely glossed over San Diego as I spent not nearly as much time there as the others I mentioned. It is in fact an awesome place to live. I much prefer it here though.

I've traveled quite a bit and lived in many places in the US including Indiana, Michigan, Arizona, San Diego, and of course born and raised in the great Northwest (Washington). I liked Danny's...

hootie,

this may be to late but I haven't logged into CBN for awhile. In my area we have guys that do curbing around flower beds and such. These are relatively "inexpensive" (they just drive...

jmattox1,

I have built several retaining walls both the concrete variety and the landscape block variety. I really liked the finish on the landscape block type.

Someone suggested Allen...

Chris,

I feel your pain as I have huge elk running around in my yard and they jump my 5 foot fence standing still. One thing I've heard is that if you put in two fences parallel to each other...

Yes lowering the PH is really what I meant to say. Thanks for the clarification. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Metrologist,

I will makes some comments on your post because we are in very similar situations except for my wife doesn't know anything about puppies either.

We got a puppy against some...

Danny,

Someone else told me that you could put pepper around your plants and that would keep the cats and dogs away and be completely harmless to the plants.

SHF,

The bitter apple stuff does work well but it is really for indoor "plant" use. My dog hates the stuff but it wears off really quickly outside. As far as the vinegar questions goes - we use...

Just wait until your property taxes start exploding.

Patrick,

Point taken.

Patrick,

No offense taken here and I too, apologize if I have spouted off incoherently. I haven't actually seen light reflectors that you are referring to. My lights appear to shine towards the...

Pat,

I must admit that I very much enjoy looking at the stars at night in the back yard. Since I live in the mountains in the country I get a spectacular view regularly in my back yard with no...

I spend a great deal of time outside working and walking my dog and in the long winter months much of this is during the dark. I have two sodium lights on all night (dawn to dusk) in the front of...

ShopRat,

You actually need a permit for a small pond? /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

BrianP,

Did you use the 20 or the 25 guage? I can get either out here in 3.5 inch or 3 5/8 inch. I'm going to purchase my studs next week. The 20 guage is clearly much cheaper but that's not...

Wombat,

I would highly recommend pouring the concrete. Would, even treated, will eventually rot with moisture. you should easily be able to pour a slab and making sure to provide breaks not...

Danny,

I feel your pain. I asked a puppy question out here and got lambasted by one member (and I had done much research). I completely disagree with anyone who told you that cats need to be...

BrianP,

you mentioned something about U channels. What exactly are you refering to here? Thanks.

Dave,

did you just use standard insulation in your application? I usually staple the stuff in place when doing standard wood framing. What do you use for metal. I loved your basement pictures...

Alright guys this is excellent information. BrianP by the time I actually get around to be able to affording the new TV for the basement I am surely going to find better options. Besides with the...
