HFH of Metro Denver, for example, paints some homes'' interiors with low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints. VOCs are solvents in paint that outgas (evaporate) as the paint dries, and can irritate the eyes and cause sore throats and coughing. Some VOCs are carcinogenic.Advanced framing techniques ensure structural support with minimal material use. Finger-jointed studs (made from short pieces of wood) are used to frame interior walls. Floor joists are made from engineered lumber, which requires about half as much wood fiber as solid dimensional lumber, yet provides the same or greater strength. Many homes'' floors are covered with carpet made from recycled plastic soda bottles. Recycled wood and plastic lumber are used to build decks. Low-water vegetation reduces lawn maintenance and water use in an area that suffers from periodic water shortages. Additional water conservation measures include installing low-flow showerheads and faucets. Waste from the building site, including wood and cardboard, is recycled.

Visit their Web sites or a local dealer for more details.Farmers love their little rigsUtility tractors are a popular topic of conversation in the Machinery Talk discussion group at Agriculture Online[TM] (www.agriculture.com). One farmer says cost plays a part in deciding to go with a smaller tractor. Models this size run anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000, depending on the configuration and options."When people buy small tractors, they''re usually price-motivated," he says. "Massey Ferguson sells a lot of these tractors, and the reason is that the Perkins is a good motor and they''re affordable."A Canadian organic farmer tells the group he uses his Universal 640 TDC and Massey Ferguson 65 with a mower, PTO auger, three-point hitch, and forklift nearly every day. He spreads gravel, moves heavy items, plants trees, digs rocks in the field, and removes snow in the winter.

The popularity of cowboy shooting means lots of people are working on Colt and Ruger single-action revolvers. Both of which have the easiest screws in creation to mess up. Brownells has assembled a kit that contains the very specific drivers needed for those pesky screws. For the Ruger set there are four bits and the Colt set has five, The Magna-Tip handle for them is hollowed out so the bits can be stored inside so there''s no risk of getting them mixed up with other stuff. The only fault I find is once you take them out of the package you have to count bits or study screws to separate the Colt from the Ruger. I''ll probably take a vibrating marker and fix that.
