Fun things to do with a dog run?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

We have an empty dog run with about 80 bricks, I have a little fort, and in it, it has : a big chair, dining table, and old lamps that don’t work. All of the furniture is made of brick and rock. The lamps are taken out from the ground (solar lighting) because we had to make room for a pool. Anyways, I need a fun thing to make the run a fort. we have bricks, a uneven slab of marble, and some wood. Most of the bricks are square, and some are landscaping bricks. We also have a dog igloo from the former owners. I need some ideas!

Thank You!

Please answer, even if it isn’t much!
I don’t need to sell the stuff, because we had 9 garage sails, and noone took the bricks!

I need ideas to make it a fort!

If you do not need the stuff sell them! Other than that you could fix the lamps and use them.

What would a fancy in-ground swimming pool cost?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I’m talking about a medium to large lagoon style pool with those fake rocks all around with waterfalls and a built-in slide….beach entry, solar heated, underwater lights…I know residential pools are usually in the tens of thousands, but I’m curious to know how expensive they can get for the "fancy" ones. Are they that much more expensive??

It’s only as expensive as you want it to be. Generally speaking in ground pools start for around 20-30 thousand. Then if you want fancy things, such as a waterfall, a slide, a fancy decking like stamped concrete instead of just a basic concrete deck, then its going to cost you money. the only way to truly estimate the costs is to sit down with a swimming pool designer or a company that builds pools and discuss the options of the things you want, listen to some of the information that they have, because as much as you might want something that you have pictured in your head, sometimes it just wont work when building a pool, and some of those things could be for various reasons but not limited to space in your yard, the law doesnt allow it (like where i live, Slides are no longer allowed to be installed, and the only Diving type of apparatus is a rock placed and cemented into place with the decking for a diving rock, as boards are no longer allowed either due to injuries and other mishaps. You mentioned solar heating, you are asking to build a fancy pool with the poor mans heating. Solar heating is probably one of the worst concepts out there. You would be much better off with a Heat pump style of heater which will be easier to install since it only uses electrical versus the conventional heater which uses propane or natural gas <and this also means you dont need to have a gas line run to your heater near your pool system either, as you are going to need electrical run from the house anyways, you can easily plan to have a heat pump installed. But again, these are all things that you can discuss with the builder or designer…

Good Luck!

in need of outside lighting?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I am wanting to find some way to light the side area of yard, it is in the shade all day long, so solar lights aren’t an option, and I don’t want to have to run electric. I am turning my side yard into a rock patio with a fire pit, couple of chairs, a small table, etc. but it is soooo dark on that side at night I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it, if the light from the fire pit wouldn’t be enough. Please Help!!! All ideas welcomed!!!

There are solar kits with remote solar panels. You may be able to mount the solar panel somewhere it’ll get sun. You may even be able to lengthen the wire if needed.

The link below is for a solar floodlight I found real quick, but i’ve seen decorative solar lights with several spot/floods that are all connected to a solar panel by wires.

What is the speed of light outside of a year?

There has got to be a simple formula for space travel. Light is a element or force ( what’s it’s label?) That cannot be bound by time boundaries.Once Light leaves the limits of 365 earthdays (a light year) or any of the planetary clocks, how fast does it travel?

Imagine the Universe as a pond, The Galaxies are rocks in the pond we hop from rock to rock to cross the pond. Within each rock light is slowed down by Time & gravity. Once light escapes time frames & Objects of Gravitational mass it starts to leap from place to place "Light just Is", it can’t live or die it does not fade away it’s always moving and arriving from one place to the next. Gravity and Time allows us to capture light as if it were in slow motion. Without Gravity & time (which is only present within a solar system and the Galaxy, within the great year: one complete swirl of the Milky Way) there is no time limit or over baring gravity in the blackness of void therefore light can travel in a blink of an eye.

there are some theories that state that the universe can bend through dimensions, so that basically light can go from one side of the universe to the other in a second. in this theory, we can also say that if we are not within distance of touching something, that object could be on the side of the universe, and if we get closer to it, then we could also have gone to the other side, by way of dimensions. i dont know the names of these theories, but basically they assume that the universe it not flat(but rather bent and can move), and that the universe not only has 3 spatial dimensions + 1 dimension of time, but even more. string theory suggests 26 dimensions.

light is considered masslass, if it were to travel faster than light (like theoretical tachyons) it could rip spacetime and create a wormhole. its all theory.

How can I place Solar Garden light without having have to worry about weeds or grass growing around them ?

I do not want mulch around my house since I have a wood structured home and have had termite damage history. The Rubber Mulch is too expensive for me. I guess Rock would be fine, but no access for the dump track to the area due to fence. Using weed eater for each 15 of them sounds too tedious of a work to me, but I just may have to ?

Why not just remove them, mow, and replace them?
