    Greetings–my son is a professional garage door installer–very good and great prices! He will be in the area this weekend and said he could/would help you out. If you can call him by noon today (Friday, September 9), he can talk things through with you and can make sure he will have what you decide. His name is Juston (yes, “Justin” but with an “o”), and his number is (925)577-4099.

    Sorry about the sap. If it from Cedar trees, it’s water soluble, just soak the soles in a shallow pan, I use a baking pan.

    If it’s Pine Tree sap, I hope you find a better way than have. Alcohol is the only sure way to remove it.
    70% Isopropyl Alcohol, available most any store, lots of rags or paper towels will do it. This also works on your car.

    I hope someone has a better solution and will post it.

    Does anyone know how I can remove all the spots of tree sap from my deck? At my age, crawling around the deck on my hands and knees to scrub it off is not an option. Any shoes that have walked on the deck cannot come inside. The soles are covered with sap and then walking around the yard leaves dirt and needles sticking to the sap. Shoes are left at the door. Messy stuff!! I would love to clean it off.

    I think one of the brokers at Dorrington Realty is a notary. I know that C-21 Sierra Properties in Arnold has a notary service.

    Sorry, I hit submit too soon. If you have a pump system, the easiest way to treat for roots is by opening the access lid to the pump basin and adding the root killer there.

    Copper sulfate should not be used in a septic tank. It will kill the bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste. To effectively control roots in your leachfield you need to have a tight line (pipe between outlet of tank and leachfield) access. This is usually done by installing a cleanout in the tightline. If you don’t want to use copper sulfate (it’s extremely poisonous) rock salt is effective for root control if it is applied properly.

    I have purchased firewood from Gene Miller and from a guy that works at Ace Hardware. His name is John Paul, but I don’t know his last name.

    Cedar is my first choice, fir is second. Pine is a distant third because of the creosote build up.

    In my experience if you want the hard wood you have to look for someone down in the valley that is selling reclaimed orchard wood. I personally don’t like buying too much pine because I am under the impression that pine, as a soft wood, leaves more of a tar residue in the flue system. I will look for the name of the past people we used and post it. I don’t go through very much so the name is not top of mind.

    Should I introduce this at the tank level or the leach line level. We have a pump up system. Would the copper sulfate fact the enzymatic process in the tank if introduced there? Are there any other consequences of using copper sulfate as far as any impact on any other trees on the property?

    Thanks

    I’m interested in locating some good local fire wood in Arnold. Would prefer Pine/Cedar but maybe some oak also.
    Spit and 14-16 inch length.Full cord or more depending on price.
    Any reliable leads would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Cabin Still!
