Coal Firing Furnaces-New Hampshire and Vermont Series Part 4, Most of todays coal firing furnaces, are also a wood firing furnace. How to remove the clinkers. You'll sure find it a lot easier to remove the clinker if you let the fire cool off for five to ten minutes before you go to remove it. Turn the stoker off and open the furnace's fire door to cool the fire. You can fill the hopper while the clinker is cooling. A clinker normally forms around the retort. Be sure to use a iron bar or poker to raise the clinker. Be sure not to dig in the retort. After you have raised the clinker, use a clinker tong to lift it from your furnace. A clinker can be in one piece or in several pieces, but be sure to remove all of it. Keep the fuel bed of your furnace clean. Remove the clinkers as often as necessary.

PowWow's in New Hampshire For September 2009, that we can still attend and enjoy this year. Remember to always check with the PowWow sponsor, before taken off to travel any distance to attend. Times and dates do change from time to time. I have added phone numbers, that you can contact for information. At this time, this is all the information Baker Home, Commercial Propertie Inspections and Consulting, has at this time about the PowWow's, that are still coming up.

The PowWow drum is the heartbeat of the Indian Nation. It also Carey's the heartbeat of Mother Earth, thus the drum calls the spirits and the nations together.

PowWow's in New Hampshire For September 2009, The Drum is covered with the hide of either, buffalo, deer, or cow. Eight or more men strike the Drum in unison with covered mallets. The men also blend their voices with the beating of the Drum to create the song. You'll fine the songs are often in the Indian Language of the drum members. Its the responsibility of the Drum members and the lead singer to be able to sing and play whatever song that is requested by the master of ceremonies for any given event of the PowWow, Flag Raising, Honoring Ceremony, the different kind of dances.

It's been handed down over many many moons, that the Drum was brought to the Indian people by a woman, therefore Therese a woman spirit that resides inside the Drum. So it should be treated with respect and care, and strict behavior is expected of anyone that comes in contact with the Drum. The Drum helps to bring the physical and mental side of folks back in touch with their spiritual and heart side. The Drum is used to bring balance and rejuvenation to folks through their participation in dancing, singing, or just listening to the heartbeat.

(I would like to encourage and challenge, all folks from all walks of lift to attend at least one PowWow. I can give you my words, once you have. You will have a whole new look, love of life, and you'll want to attend PowWow every year).

Why don't you Volunteer to Drive Cancer Patients?, did you know you can volunteer to drive cancer patients to and from their treatment appointments?

Through the road to recovery program, of the American Cancer Society's, you sure can help cancer patients to get to their treatment appointments.

Just how close are we to a cure for Cancer?

For more information on how you can give a helping hand, to help drive cancer from the face of Mother Earth. Call your local American Cancer Society today, or visit the main website. Its really up to each and every one of us to help others.

If you can please take the time to volunteer, to help ours!

Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Propertu Part One, there sure has been a great deal of study on just how will the soil of a property handles the waste and pathogens in the septic effuent. The EPA has been defining the Septic Wastewater Infiltration System or drainfield, by the limiting conditions of the site in a much more thorough mannet than just a simple perocoltion test, just how rapidly the soil of the property absorbs the water.

There sure does need to be adequarte depth to what is called the, limiting condition. Now this refers to either an impermeable layer that blocks the water flows to the soil beneath, or groundwater. The shallower the limiting condition, the more difficult its going to be to achieve the proper degree of treatment.

Tour Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Property Part One, with the appropriate septic system, as little as 12 to 18 inches of separation is sufficient. But the distance is dependent is not only on the septic system feeding the drainfield, but also on the volume of liquid. For any Home Buyer or Home Owner that wants to able to converse knowledgealbly with a health official or an engineer, the following chart, shows four different categories of permeable soil depth, and the septic system types that are suggested for each.

Type one soil, on the left, is sure the worst condition shown on the diagram, is the shallowest to the limiting condition. But type four is the best, the deepest to the limiting condition.

I sure do hope you have enjoyed following this series about Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Properrty!

I'll be bring more new and exciting blog series posts your way!

Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Property Part Three, the width and length of the infiltration surface are very important design considerations to improve performance and will limit the impact on the receiving evironment. Trenches, beds, and seepage pits (also known as dry wells) are traditionally used geometries. Seepage pits can be effective for wastewater diepersal, but sure don't provide must in the way of treatment, because they extend deep down into the soil profile, where oxygen transfer and treatment is limited and the separation distance to the ground water is reduced.

Width- infiltration surface clogging and the resulting loss of infiltrative capacity are less where the infiltration surface is narrow. This appears to occur because reaeration of the soil below a narrow infiltration surface is more rapid. The dominant pathway for oxygen transport to the subsoil appears to be diffusion through the soil surrounding the infiltration surface. The unsaturated zone below a wide surface quickly, becomes anaerobic because the rates of oxygen diffusion is too low to meet the oxygen demad of the biota and organice on the infiltration surface. This is why trenches will perform better then beds. Trench widths typical range from one to four feet. Narrower trenches are preferred, but the soil conditions and construction keeping the infiltration surface level, the uphill side of the trench bottom just might be excavated into a less suitable soil horizon. The wider trench infiltration surfaces have been very successful in atgrade systems, and mounds probably because the engineered fill material and elevaion above the natural grade promote better reaeration of the fill.

Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Property Part Three, The diagram below is a cross section of a conventional, and not shallow, gravel filled drainfield trench and pipe system. It shows you the pathway of the air called the vadose zone, through the soil to the infiltration zone.
