Do you know where I could get info on just what a rubble trench is exactly? How do you ancor anything to rubble? On another subject, isn't it interesting that a lot of the eco safe building materials that ore organic and biodegradable are among the worst choices for the growing number of people with immune disorders like MCS and mold allergies? Stone , glass, and ceramic may be among the only safe building materials in our immune destroyed society of the feature if we don't change things now. Even metal is a problem to people who are universal reactors. Squeakie wheels get the oil, maybe we should be sending all the ecopath messages to all the members of congress from now on?? Thanks for all the help . Stuart
