Dear MM,
Modern sustainable plumbing does not really exist, but I can give you
some guide lines in how to judge an existing plumbing. If the house is
to your liking, then the plumbing is a secondary problem and it is more
of a question to judge the extend and the costs of fixing it. It is all

Cats are like women, they have an instinct of keeping them nice

use it without training, as long as you

no commercial biodiesel is made from hemp. It's not a very good oil

The new plastic pipes, if you use the proper ones in a proper way,
make it more possible to do installations with higher average life
span than 45 years. It is only a few manufacturers of adequate pipes
for this.
Since you are buying an existing house, I will not bore you with the
considerations
Maybe. Considering all the lab tests with rats and so on where they
have to pull a lever or something to get food once they've been good
little rats and done what they're supposed to, it shouldn't be too
hard to get a dog to step on a flush lever once it's done. Preferably

Actually, unless the dealer actually PUTS IT IN
WRITING that running BD will void the warranty,
you're fine. The dealer is just ignorant. VW would
have a hard time voiding a warranty for a fuel that is

1st - I used 3.5g lye and 200 ml Methanol - the biodiesel cleared and another
80-100 ml of glycerol settled out. The biodiesel on top has the appearance of
clarity , but it also looked like it has a bit of methanol still left in that
No. It's not. But it is perhaps the highest bio-mass producer that also
yields edible oil, meal.and fiber. It stands the greatest chance of
succeeding economically as a biomass crop due to its multiple co-products
and overall yields, if only the United States government would get out of
the way.

Don Lancaster pretty much published the realities of patents.
Besides, if you patent an earthshaker it will be quashed.
If you make it public domain all will benefit and your standard of living
will raise too.
You can't be cheated out of that.

My sister has a Pekinese, that she keeps in the bathroom, when she goes out

There is no reason that a shower pan would not work as well as a tub, just
check it and hose it off every day.
