A webinar on the use of geo engineering to repair infrastructure
landslide issues will open you eyes to the issue of hold soil in stable situations.
Landslide issues

You may be thinking of Ground anchors that are used in major  earthworks to hold various structures, slopes or embankments stable.
Its a real Engineering science, known as Geotechnical Engineering and is more sophisticated that what I see above.
A 6 feet deep trench is a trap looking for a body unless you do it correctly.
Somewhere I have a great video detailing different systems, I will look for it.

have had a lot of experience with these types of building, but I would need to see photos of the current situation to start with.
Some exterior shots, of bare timber frame, frame to foundation connection at least.

Sean, can I suggest with 300ft of irrigation pipe the use of 1 inch pipe as feeder lines or even as a circular ring with spokes going across
will give you better flow with a higher pressure level at each sprinkler.

Interesting comments all around.
Things are different from when I started using nails!
Today I apply these rules;
- use galvanised nails only
  you never have to throw them away if they get wet.
  They grip better
  They are easy to reuse
- Modern screws are great and dont work loose like some nails can.
But the real issue is these bolts I have collected below, they can take hours to get into place.

I believe a big issue with many people is wanting more than they need.
I am not a religous person, so I am not coming from that angle.
I often hear,' that is a nice big bedroom, huge lounge" etc, it all costs money they may not have needed to spend.

I have written an article about good debt , bad debt and published widely.
It always creates discussion for obvious reasons,
I have a small home, but I can afford to race motorcycles as a result, that is one advantage of good, appropriate debt.
A link is in my signature.

Matt, I use a desktop.
And r ranson, creating a new category is the language i should be using.
Wood heating could have forums RMH, Masonary heaters, types of wood, flue systems wet backs,

I have a suggestion about the Energy  forum.
Its often full of Rocket Mass Heater stuff and its hard to find topics on energy production or efficiency.
Could heating be created as a separate Forum?
And keep energy production etc separate.

Thank you I have printed it for reference.
