A Word on Borax Treatment for Homes

Posted 03-16-2010 at 04:39 PM by Envision Builders

I just wanted to spread some info on something that has been around for a while but seems to be getting more popular. That is Borax treatment for homes under construction or remodel.


Borax has a wide variety of uses. It is a component of many , , and glazes. It is also used to make in , as a , as an anti-fungal compound for , as an , as a flux in , a texturing agent in cooking, and as a precursor for other boron compounds.


Pest control is the primary use in construction and in homes. One boron compound is used to treat wood, prevent fungal decay, repel carpenter ants, roaches and termites. Boric acid is included on the national list of allowed substances for structural pest control in organic food production (as long as there is no direct contact with food or crops). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that pesticide products containing boric acid and it's salts are of low toxicity. (However, ingesting it or applying large amounts to the skin can cause acute poisoning, so parents should be vigilant about where they store and use products containing Borax.)
We use Borax as a pre-treatment to the wood prior to the installation of insulation and gyspem board in a new home construction...

Tigers, a Lion, a Kangaroo and Me

Life is strange at times.

One has to wonder if as Forrest Gump said, "Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time." Sometimes I wonder too.

I don't know if it was destiny that brought me to ARK R.A.I.N. Wild Animal rescue or did we just bump into each other while floating around in this thing called life.

Either way we found each other. Actually Disney brought us together. Which truly does not surprise me, Disney always has a way of bringing interesting things into my life.

I signed up for Disney's Give A Day volunteer program. I figured why not. I get a free Disney ticket which I will definitely use and volunteer to a worthy cause at the same time, it was a win-win situation.

I do volunteer work through our church and area schools, but when I went to the Disney site to look for opportunities, this one particular charity keep drawing me in.

ARK R.A.I.N. Wild Animal Rescue society. Interestingly this society is located about 40 miles outside of Memphis, but I was not familar with thier work. The more I read about them and talked to them, the more I was impressed at how much they have achieved with so little help from others and especially on such a very limited income.

Early Bird Gets the Worm !

It’s that time of year again, no not tax time; it’s the unpacking of the dreaded swim suit. You know the one; it’s buried deep in the drawer under those t-shirts you don’t wear anymore. The one you swore you would look better in this year. I know this announcement seems a little early, and that’s true. The reason is that I want you looking good the HEALTHY way and not with some desperate yo-yo diet, or even worse, medication. How many people do you know that tried a quick fix for weight loss only to have gained more weight in the end? With a healthy approach you should expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. That’s 4 to 8 pounds a month. Doesn’t sound like a lot, especially when you compare it to all those commercials offering big numbers. But if you just add 2 months together that’s 8 to 16 pounds. So, if you start today you could lose 16 pounds by May 10…Just in time for that swim suit. The best part about this approach is that you will KEEP it off!

Let’s do a quick review of some of the steps that will help you reach your goal.
1)Change at least one thing in your diet each week (for the better)
2) Exercise efficiently by using heart rate spiking moves in your lifting routine; this burns more calories (Instead of resting between sets do jumping jacks or run in place)
3)Cardio Intervals (we touched on this last week)
4)Eat a healthy breakfast (this one step raises...
