Flood Prep – Fuel Tanks

Keep these points in mind when you anchor a fuel tank:

a) If you prefer not to do this work yourself, you can have a handyman or contractor anchor your tank.

b) Extend all filling and ventilation tubes above the 100-year flood level so that flood waters cannot enter the tank.

c) Close all connections when flood warnings are issued.

Loose Screws

One way to fix a loose screw in wood is to remove it and then insert toothpicks or burned wooden matches with a coating of wood glue into the hole. Allow the glue to cure, then cut flush and re-drive the screw. You can also insert a plastic wall anchor into the screw hole. When you put the screw back in, it will expand the anchor and will hold solidly.

Fountain Features

A fountain, unlike other statues or pieces of garden furniture, works with two senses at once: sight and sound. The pleasing sound of flowing water goes a long way to providing a calming atmosphere, indoors or out. In urban environments, flowing fountain water screens out the city’s noise pollution, and if you live outside a city, it will help block out the sounds of screaming neighbors’ children, traffic noise, and other distractions.
