When Is a Ghost Not a Ghost
Ghost marks on walls and ceilings signal not hauntings but lack of insulation. Dirt lines form where warm dust laden air meets cold surfaces between joists. Mineral wool insulation equalizes surface temperatures and lowers repainting costs.
Windows Important In Insulation
A discussion on how wood windows contribute to home insulation through the touch test. Ponderosa pine provides poor heat conduction, keeping interior temperatures cooler. The article encourages calculating total wood surface area across all windows to appreciate its impact on comfort.

Perennials Sown in Summer Seedbeds with Cold Frames
Perennials can be started in summer seedbeds using a cold frame and lath canopy to protect seeds and seedlings through drought and heat. Position away from noon sun, near a north-facing boundary, and cover with porous soil and burlap to maintain moisture for germination.
Seed Bed Protection Using Burlap and Window Screens
A seed bed can receive light through a lath screen or burlap while staying moist until germination begins. Remove burlap once seeds push through soil and guard against heavy rain as a cloud burst can ruin the bed. A window screen may break heavy rains while allowing light until seedlings are strong enough to transplant to a nursery row.
