I'm surprised you didn't catch that side of the story, Beck- the poor fellow had to do his own mold remediation, too, I believe, despite the fact that it completely put him on his ass (hence the tent).

i did a lot of skipping around through reading his thread. he's very longwinded, i have a short attention span unless someone's going somewhere and the damn site logs me out by the time i get to the end of every page. i try to understand what i'm reading but with some of the pictures not showing up it's kinda hard to visualize what he's saying. i've been though it like 8 times now and although i get his concepts i don't think i've read more than 3/4 of it.

i did read over the part about the yard/snow/tent/remediation between when i and brp posted though. seems like a tough gig. although i would have had it out of there in less than 2 weeks without helpers.

my crew called me the human wrecking ball.

i'd have 4 guys cleaning up while i ripped a house to shreds in a matter of a couple hours. the rest of the day i'd have to help clean up.

Yes, so it appears as though this one's made with some type of spun-plastic material similar to what I imagine Epi/Ecoweb to be like, though it seemed quite flexible and not very rigid in form. It was composed of two pieces sandwiched together, with slits in the outer layer serving as pockets to contain plant roots. A pretty neat design- the whole thing seemed to be kept quite damp, but really airy. I wasn't able to have a look at the irrigation system at the top of the wall, but the pump/filter setup seemed really elementary and simple. Kind of lame/boring choices of plants, in my opinion, but everything seemed happy and thriving.
