I'm only scratching the surface with all of the forums and educational material here.

Seeing as 72% of greenhouse gas is water vapor and 80% of the earth's surface is water, I see how this plan is completely conceivable and logical, rather than some cooked up piece of bullsh-- legislation intended to pay off friends for political favors.

In the late 1950's, rolled VINYL (made, I think, from petro-chemicals) became available (at least in no-wax surfaces).

I would create a well thought-out offer to purchase for your neighbor's adjoining 6 acres!

You don't really have clear access until after closing, I wouldn't try to cut it to the hour.You should be there when that dumpster is droped (or your worker), lay lumber down on a driveway for the dumpster to sit on, it will scar the surface of the driveway, better set it on the lawn the ruts are easier to fix than gouges in the driveway.
