The wife was rather impressed too especially when i showed her the exact same commercial model and showed her how much i saved i.e. mine was less the $100 when the commercial single barrel was $220. Thanks again for the awesome ideal! Im not sure how you attached the screen to the flange on the bottom, but I simply placed a piece of the screen over the flange collar in the barrel and then inserted the 3" pipe right onto it. This formed a nice tight cover on the bottom. It does however require a lil more elbow grease and force to get it on. Compost is cooking as we speak! Well she’s done and I love it!!!

Well, I pretty much got the frame put together. Like you, I spent about $100 on materials. I was able to put together the frame last night minus the cross beams. I will take your advice about lining up and inserting the PVC pipe on the inside. What kind of drill bit did you use to make those holes? One thing i wish i had done prior to was to pre-drill the iron pipe holes on the upright before I attached them to the legs. Now i either must unbolt the legs from the uprights or hope that my measurements line up correctly on all 3 uprights thus allowing the pipe to go thru smoothly. Will keep you update! I must also add, this has been a fun project so for if you enjoy building things! Awesome, thanks!

I just setup two beds (a 4x8 and a 4x12) with compost from my tumblers. If I only needed some touch-up compost, I would just tilt the barrel sideways and scoop some compost out with a pitchfork into a wheel-barrel. When I needed a whole bunch, I put a tarp underneath the barrel and just dumped the whole thing :) Then I would either drag the tarp to where I needed it, or lift and dump the tarp into a wheel-barrel.

Any updates on how recovering the compost was? Im eager to get started building this same set-up! Great ideal!!! Any updates on how recovering the compost was?

I have two questions. First, how did you simulate a disk failure? Second, since Windows does not let you know when a disk failure occurs is there any code that I can use to produce a pop up when a disk failure occurs? I am running Windows 7 Professional. Thank you.

CCA pressure-treated wood contains arsenic which can be released from the wood when the wood is burned, through mechanical abrasion (like sanding or sawing), direct contact and when acid contacts the treated lumber. See the 'CCA Wood' tab to the left for more information. Incineration of CCA pressure treated wood does not destroy arsenic. It is illegal to burn CCA wood in all 50 states. Some countries in Europe have banned CCA wood and its use is being reviewed by the whole European Union. It is incredible, but a single 12 foot 2 x 6 contains about 27 grams of Arsenic - enough arsenic to kill more than 200 adults. A tablespoon (about 20 grams) of CCA wood ash has enough arsenic to kill an adult human. To add to that, CCA wood ash tastes salty, and is a natural attractant to animals and livestock. 5 Tablespoons of this are enough to kill an 1100 pound cow, and this has already happened. Jim and Peggy Janson of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota had their dairy herd of 18 Holstein cows die after breaking down a neighbors' fence and eating salty CCA ash. State investigators determined that the cows found a pile of CCA wood ash which had been illegally dumped and they died from arsenic poisoning four days after ingestion of the ash: This Old House Magazine, Issue 17, March/April 1998, Page 118-125. This same effect could be expected on household pets and wildlife, such as deer. How does arsenic affect me? Arsenic can be inhaled or ingested, or, to a lesser degree, absorbed through the skin. One-tenth of a gram accumulated over a two month period can produce death, and arsenic is carcinogenic at much lower levels. The EPA limit in water is currently 50 ppb, and proposals to lower it to 2 ppb are in place. Medical Effects of Arsenic from CCA ash: The Journal of the American Medical Association reported (Peters HA, et al: Seasonal exposure to arsenic from burning CCA treated wood. JAMA 251:(18)2393-96, 1984) on a Wisconsin family who burned CCA scraps in their home furnace for winter heating. Their hair fell out, all suffered severe, recurring nosebleeds, extreme fatigue and debilitating headaches. The parents complained about 'blacking out' for periods of several hours, followed by long periods of extreme disorientation. Both children suffered frequent seizures described as 'grand mal'. The symptoms were finally traced to breathing minute amounts of arsenic laden dust leaking from the furnace as fly ash. The family's houseplants and fish died, too, victims of copper poisoning from the same dust. For More information Call (281) 852-8453 How is arsenic released from CCA wood?
