I agree with france grenier. Plain old white vinegar. I have a smelly husband. I tried lots of perfumy solutions for washing his close. Then I discovered that adding a couple of cups of white vinegar to the wash water does wonders.  his cloths justr smell clean.

Hi- We have ducks as well, but the predators around here are nocturnal except for hawks.  Our ducks have most of the yard. We strung fish line with old CDs above to detur predator birds.  We have a permanent run for when we are away from home.  It is similar to the hoop hours but much sturdier. We used hardware clothe and dug it down 8" into the ground on the outside. It is taller and has a door with a padlock.  Then for nighttime
we have their duck house which is plywood with hardware cloth vents. It opens from the front and top. I am embarrassed to tell you that in all we have 6 key padlocks.  We have 6 hens and one drake. So far so good.

Thanks you for your replies. Somehow I didn't spot the 2 ton part. Anyway, my husband just vetoed the idea , not wanting any more projects. It looks like I will be hibernating next winter.

I am thinking about making a racket mass stove for my studio. I was really cold last winter!I have 2 questions. Could I bould a rocket mass stove in an old cast Iron bathtub? The reason I'm asking is because there is a tub in my studio and it is to heavy for me to .
The second question is about the materials you are using for the thermal mass. I have read before that of all the stones, bricks, sand, that people use for thermal mass, water is really the most efficient. Any thoughts on this? Thanks ahead of time. Fay
