Nailing It Down

Nailing It Down
When it comes to protecting your gutters with leaf guards, the best strategy for nailing it down is not using nails at all. Toppers, mesh, helmets and hoods that hang over gutters to prevent debris from accumulating in the gutters and blocking the flow of water are usually attached by homeowners with nails or screws.

    The main type of fencing is Harris fencing; this can be erected with ease and speed. It prevents access to the site but is only temporary and can be taken down as quickly as it can be put up. Harris fencing could also be blown over in a high wind. Harris fencing is not always necessary as existing fencing may already be in place. A garden fence, a garden wall or a hedgerow can be used to prevent access; they can be used on their own or in conjunction with fencing.…

    WK 5 Renewable Resource Paper

    Missouri produces wind energy coming from more than 2,500 square miles land that the state use as 63% portion of electricity. Windmills are producer of clean energy; however worn-out windmills produce otherwise. One hazardous element of wind turbines is carbon fiber composite. When wind turbine is worn-out, it has to be burned and trashed out, a process that is perilous to the atmosphere. This wind turbine replacement is necessary. One material of wind turbine is thermoset plastic; this usually creates the wind turbines’ strength and low weight requirement. A breakage from this wind turbine might destroy houses and buildings nearby and pieces of the blade might be scattered meters away. Wind power accidents are much common compared to nuclear accidents. Recorded in 2008 were casualties of 16 civilians and 41 workers—a continuously increasing number. During high winds, the turbines should be stopped and the rotation should be stopped in order to reduce this staggering figure of casualties. Moreover, a regular check-up on these wind turbines should be made in order to prevent bugs build-up and the wearing…

    To Drill or Not to Drill

    I think that this is a very difficult question to have to answer. I can see where both sides are coming from because in one sense drilling off the coast and in the Gulf of Mexico would help save our country money because we would not have to buy our oil from other countries. I also think it is somewhat of a good idea because if we were to drill here instead of buying our oil from other countries it would help provide more jobs for Americans which we really need. I also believe that on the other hand it would be better to continue buying our oil from other countries because drilling off the coast here could easily cause water pollution and could kill our water animals. “People concerned about the environmental damage drilling can cause are outraged.”(Should We Drill, Scholastic News-Edition 5/6, 4/26/2010, vol. 78 Issue 22, p4-5, 2p)I would say if I had to pick a side I would have to say that we should continue to buy our oil from foreign countries because I feel like we have too much at stake if we drill ourselves. I think that after the BP oil spill and with the people that died and as bad as it polluted our water that we really should not take any chances. “Environmentalists criticize the administration for re-opening deep water drilling even though the technical problems that led to the gulf oil spill have not been fixed.”(Deep Water Oil Drilling: why Obama is okay with angering left and right, Mark Clayton, Christian Science Monitor, 1/26/2012, pN.PAG, 1p)If I had to pick some of the key habits that are hindering my decision on what side to take in this matter, they would be that if we drill on our own soil it could do a lot of damage to our waters and the animals that occupy them. I also believe that we should save our oil for when our earths oil supply is getting low because then we still have ours left to use when we need it. In order to overcome the habits that are hindering my decision I would have to be…

    To Drill or Not to Drill

    Allowing or outlawing off shore oil drilling is a complex issue including environmental issues and a lack of readily available alternatives. Despite the problems of global warming and possible disasters like the British Petroleum spill in 2010, many Americans still feel as though offshore drilling will provide some sort of relief in fuel prices. Offshore drilling is not a solution to the nation’s long-term energy issues. As a nation, The United States must reduce its dependency on fossil fuels and develop alternatives that are both reliable and environmentally safe.…
