They used a combination of metal mesh and foam filler. 

Check to see if its BX wire  with metal boxes . ( BX is the electric wire with the flexible metal covering .

My metal of choice is the 1/10 oz gold eagle also.

Thats the thing about gold, the important thing is the purity of the gold and jewelry is rarely pure because the softness of gold means you almost have to mix gold with another metal in order to make jewelry.

Real estate met all the requirements I had, providing flexibility, adaptability, and the opportunity to prosper.

The only exception is if you're going to put on a metal roof.

the ones i am dealing with (and i think tony's talking about), we have to cut the metal out with a sawzall. then build a wooden frame, nail it to the brick, then secure the plastic/vinyl window to the wooden frame.i have a few pics, will post them tonight.

By leaving these areas saturated, any wood structure or metal framing is subject to deterioration, and, depending on your locale, will also attract wood destroying insects.IF your rental agreement addresses responsibility for the lawn care, AND, again, you have proof of the damage in the form of "move in condition" documents and photos, I would insist that be restored prior to them vacating.

Raking  with a metal fan rake. not sure if the shop vac will do it but it is worth a try.

If you are buying precious metals as a hedge then trading doesn't make a lot of sense.
