Is that rotted wood?
About ten years ago, I had an issue with leaks randomly developing from some copper piping. The contractor told us that there was a bunch of imported copper piping that were developing pin-hole leaks many years later (not at a junction but in the middle of a span). Canât remember the time span he had told me, something like the 70âs-80âs.

Yea some of the wood is rotted out. But itâs the main sewer line, thatâs cracked in half. rust must have ate it right out over the years⌠and most of the cracks/holes in copper pipes come from the danm town not winterizing the pipes properly. We encountered 23 cracks and or blowouts just in the basement and the first floor. Never mind the hot water lines.
But ya it looks like wood but itâs iron piping that is rusted making it appear like wood. Place has been abandoned for years

Stacked 28 straw bales and formed a sound barrier outside my bedroom between the street. Elevated on masonry & lumber, wrapped in black plastic, and itâs visually screened somewhat already.
Result: a solid 80% noise reduction from that source. 
âŚand a sore wrist.
Now I just need to do it around the entire property, about 20â high!

A friend of mine was leasing this cabin on a lake, off grid. He didnât have time to go anymore, so we took it over â the thing is, he hasnât been inside for over a year. Only 40 minutes from home, mostly gravel road.
So my wife an I went over there, and bleached all the nasties off. Until we ran out of bleachâ had to come back. Still had some beers and a fire. Sweet spot.

Got the other tent fired up for my autos. They started showing pistils, so under HPS they go. Gonna waste some power on the tents, but thatâs part of learning and getting the system running. Hopefully next time I reset the big one, the plants will be big enough to fill and not waste light.
Reset their home
Got the second temp controller wired into the cooling system
Made a ghetto DTW collection system with home depot grommets and some vinyl tubing and a yogurt tub. Cant take credit for it, saw it on some YouTube channel.

you could bend the 2 larger plants horizontal & lower the light a bit⌠theyâd fill the area more.

How far down the stem would you flop them over? My training skills are limited, I have either topped or just bent the branches, never messed with the main stem

Iâd say bend after the first set of useable branches (?) and have only seen it done myself. Another way my friend started the process was planting them at a 45 deg. angle on the ground & tied them a foot off the ground.
My thought was just to make a âSCROGâ(screen of green) before they flower⌠all the bud sites will stretch up & be smaller than a single main bud but overall about the same in size. Iâve had good luck topping plants low & using the 4 lower branches as âtrunksâ & get a satisfying overall yield.
The next thought though is that you wonât have the same ease of moving them if you want, once they get staked & trained horizontal.
But youâd be surprised how resilient the branches/stems are & recover well. If it feels risky maybe just try one? 
Iâm baked.

I think I fixed my truck. Replaced the thermostat and topped up the coolant (a lot). Will find out in a few minutes if it solved the problem.
Edit: Yep! So far, so good! Probably saved myself a bunch of money!
