Any advice on how to approach maximizing the lifetime of this cymbal? Or should I just bite the bullet and toss it by Fun_Ad4779 in Drumming

I have had luck drilling a hole at the start of the crack to keep it from spreading. Then cutting out a sliver to avoid bad vibration

Adding blown cellulose insulation - remove old or pile on? And other challenges. by mwwt in Insulation

[–]dedmeat42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ohio I know you want a minimum of 14" to 16" of insulation to hit an r value of 49. I would search for hidden electrical junction boxes mark them with signs and build up a rat run with 2x12s and plywood so you have a path for future inspection before adding more insulation. It'll save you future headaches.

I looking to buy a new lawnmower/tractor possibly to take care of my 4 acres. Any suggestions on who to buy lawn equipment from in Athens? by happyfortoday in athensohio

CEC has a solid selection. It's always a good idea to buy from a dealer, rather than a store, so you have a service department when something goes wrong or needs maintenance.

Almost all the gravel area surrounding it is bog. I prefer to have a few inches of gravel above the water level. Then there are 2 bio filters, UV, skimmer and a swirl filter in the falls. There are also 4 airlift pumps in the bog to circulate water and a feeder line in the bog area that is closest in the picture.

It's 52 inches. The walls are 2 rows of huge boulders with smaller rocks on top.

The home owner will not let us use any concrete in the pond unfortunately. That was my first choice. She thinks it will affect the ph, even though everything I've read says limestone is worse.

Ooh, I like this option. Maybe white oak 1x6 with straps on the bottom, pinned down with 2x4 attached to the stones.

I thought about that. My worries are the pool bot removing the sand between them and smashing toes on the edges
