]]> …usually at the back of the shelf inside. I haven’t seen any degradation or obvious problems with the wood. I have seen no termites and have the house foundations sprayed yearly. What are these pellets, and how do I keep them from building up on the shelves? They look kind of like seeds or round sawdust, but there is no other sign that it is coming from the wood itself, no fissures or worn spots I can find–just these heaps. Thanks!
Gem Gem: I hope you’re joking!
Blunt I-run: We do have mice, but these do not have the look of dropping, but more like tiny, perfectly round seeds. I used to keep rats as pets, and I’m familiar with their droppings and leavings. It looks more like someone poured out a bag of tiny seeds than anything else.

]]> Excellent, thanks! What am I looking for in her dog food? She gets 30 cc’s of Metacam in the morning for her arthritis mixed in with a bit of wet food and a cup of dry. We feed her 2 x a day. She also likes to help the cats out with any food they might have left over from their meals as well. Thanks again!

Do you have web sites doing comparisons between heating oil, pellets, natural gas etc. We want to change our heating source from oil to the pellet stove but my dad wants information first. is the pellet stove the most efficient way to go?

]]> I’m trying to find out the model / manufacturer of my built-in fireplace. I’ve searched the web but no pictures resemble mine. So the best way to find out is by posting an image in this section of yahoo answers. Is this possible? If not, is there another site that can help with this type of question?

I thought my fire was a Home Fires one, or maybe Jetmaster but nothing from either matched mine. If I could post a pic of the fireplace, it would hopefully help in identifying it.
Many thanks
SEEING AS YOU CAN’T REPLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ANSWEED, THIS IS MY WAY OF SAYING "THANK YOU". SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A NEED FOR YAHOO TO IMPLEMENT, MUCH AS MAIN FORUMS DO. AND HAVING THE OPTION TO REPLY TO ANSWERS FOR MORE HELP, TIPS, OR A SIMPLE "THANKS" WOULD GO A LONG WAY TO IMPROVING THIS SITE AND MAKING IT MORE USER FRIENDLY. I’M USING CAPS IN THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL NOTICE THIS AND RECEIVE MY THANK YOU’S. !!

]]> Decomposing Potassium Chlorate. Oxygen is generally prepared by heating a mixture of potassium chlorate (KClO3) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) in a test tube generator. A glass and rubber combination delivery tube inserted in a one-hole rubber stopper, placed in the opening in the test tube, leads the gas, oxygen, into a collecting bottle. The gas is collected by the method known as displacement of water. This method of collection is used for gases that are either slightly soluble or practically insoluble in water.
