Financial incentives for sidetrack, including “pay-as-you-throw” trash metering, date back decades and include favorable tip fees at the Alameda County’s Altamont Landfill that will have to be renegotiated once 15 million tons of trash have been tossed.

The sap or trap in the shower may be loose or broken. If you have an access panel on the opposite side of the wall from the shower controls you may be competent to get in and tighten up the drain trap. Otherwise you will have to cut open the wall or ceiling


With the brand of your plumbing problem, it sounds like your shower drain may either cracked or broken. I have come across sprinkle strainers ( the part that secures to the bottom of the shower floor) and it has loosened up allowing water to leak

I have a patio garden and induct a lot of money in soil every year. I usually use a blend of Miracle Grow soil, the clean cow manure, and some of the cheaper potting clay. Since I spend so much on the soil every season, can I store it for the winter,
