Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

That was interesting. Thanks. I don't know Burke, the Charlottesville archy, but I remember the house when the copper lap siding was installed. IIRC, it was $7/sq ft (uninstalled) when I paid $1.40 for the copper I used on our place.
Cor-Ten I chased down after reading about it. Price was the same as the copper I used but it was only available in Chicago and the freight made it considerably higher than the copper. At the time neither copper nor Cor-Ten was at all common to use. Both distributors were shocked at my interest. Dealing with galvanic corrosion is prudent, but I experimented a little here and so far my ss fasteners have shown no corrosion in contact with the huge area copper, which should accelerate the reaction (area effect).
I know of 4 copper clad houses here. Two I did, using 3'x10' sheets of 16 oz. The fourth is another archy's house that's standing seam. Looks like a railroad freight car to me, especially now that it's a dull brown.
Gotta question Burke's (C'vlle archy) statement about copper color here. I'm unaware of even one green roof and copper's been not uncommon for a very long time. Certainly our house shows no sign of any green other than the spot where I unsuccessfully experimented with some acid.

Any chance for some pics?
You've seen mine. Here's a repeat, which I notice looks a little different now. Or not, no upload working tonight so I'll try another shot tomorrow. The client house was similar, sans the arches and curves. I'll try to get by the other two this week. Threw out my back again this morning so I'm not moving much. Been close to 2 yrs since I did that. Decidedly not recommended.
BTW, Erie sailing was fantastic last week. Got out to Pelee. Unfortunately my Ohio friend didn't have time for cruising like he'd hoped. And I missed connecting with Calvin in Maumee. Next time.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
Ok, gotta ask. How'd you throw the back out?
I've got a lower back that comes around once in a while from an old highschool injury but can usually work thru it.
Back pain no fun.
be no backpain
Didn't do my stretches before I picked up the dictionary. Just so y'all wouldn't have to suffer through my bad spelling. I have the accumulation of a lot of yrs of abuse. Hey, those 90 lb sheets of particle board are a one-man throw 'em on the saw, right? And the 1 3/16"x48"x144" sheets of particle board can't hurt much, right?
Pretty sure it was the counter weights off the track loader, coupled with the oak beams off the saw mill, that finished the job. Guess you don't wonder why I have so many hydraulic devices now, eh? Survival.
Treat Your Own Back, by .... well, looks like it's loaned out again. Hope it finds its way home someday. Anyhow, small book written by a physical therapist who describes what happens to lower backs, how to prevent future injury, and what to do if (when) you screw up. A professional yoga teacher friend gave me a copy when he despaired ever getting me to class. Changed my life, literally. I quit doing the really dumb stuff, but otherwise got back to normal living after losing a whole summer afraid to move. That was close to 10 yrs ago. Only major change (as long as I don't screw up like yesterday) is I no longer carry very many plywood concrete form sheets by myself. More than 4 or so and I find help.
Now, I'll be first in line to see a doc- when they have a cure. In the meantime I've learned to live with it. No idea what childbirth feels like, but if it's pain like this I can't imagine anyone volunteering for a second go-round. Gets your attention right quick.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
