One cup for 2500 gallons is so diluted I hardly think it would make a difference for anything. I'll rethink that if I see your hair falling out in
gobs at the fishfry tomorrow. |
Well, let's see. The fish fry was last month so you won't see my hair falling out then...but if you show up at the PICNIC tomorrow (or next week at
La Sociedad on Wednesday) you study my hair up close and personal....

Hey - WTF happened to my thread? I want to know how to keep the damn sand outa my front porch and the best thing I have so far is to install carpet
on the OUTSIDE of my cabin????? All of a sudden I'm back in chemistry class sliding the bones? I'm pretty darn sure that Osprey does not sweep out
his patio 10 times a day. Come on - what's the secret?

Sand = SiO2 = Silicon Dioxide
Can be dissolved with HF = Hydroflouric Acid
Might cause some "secondary" problems however.

Anybody remember the Gold Cadillacs at Poor Reds in Shingle Springs? Alas, they are no more.

Used to go there ALL the time when in college!
Now, back to the originally posted question...maybe you need some sort of wind block to keep the sand out?

We use what Paulina suggets - a foot bucket that cleans sandals and feet in one plunge - just one problem: bees.
At the driest time of the year (before the first september storm), bees here are desperate for water - their scouts spot the bucket, and within 15
minutes, the bar is packed.
Moving the bucket totally confuses them - for 15 minutes . . .

Rob,
How could I have forgotten about the bees? We were swarmed with them this past summer. Our foot bowl was mighty popular with them as well, so popular
that we finally had to give it up to them.
They were drowning in it, so we gave them a float, then added a boat and a dolphin. We went with the nautical theme.

Here is an idea that may be of interest...
How about one or two of the golf shoe wipers you see in country clubs.
They sell those at Smart & Final, Home Depot, Lowes, for the lowest prices. If you are in Mexico, catalog purchases are out of the question. Seen
the brushes in many of them. The on that is the hardest to remember is to walk in the house or RV bearfoot.
Hope this refreshes the thread to it's original content.

I have a neighbor who uses that idea. Says it works OK but that his biggest problem is what gets blown in with the afternoon breeze that comes off the
water. I keep telling him to do what we did on the bottom of our doors.
Works pretty good IMHO. But what do I know...

I don't golf but is this like astro turf? Not a bad idea. I made fun of the carpet idea but I currently have about 20 sq ft of carpet right before
my steps (been there for 8 or 9 years) and it does a pretty good job as long as you sweep it off.
