I am finishing off the walls of my permanent house and am about to put on the styro insulation between the studs. Am I asking for trouble if I use clear plastic sheeting ( instead of Tyvek) to wrap the walls? I know that Tyvek or a similar house wrap would be the recommended way to go, but given budgetary contraints and the availability of a free source of plastic sheeting, I would like to use it to cut down on any possible drafts. Is there a big problem with using a non permeable surface like clear plastic instead of a breathable product?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
