One day in our yard I noticed these two reclaimed timbers sitting side by side on top of a pile of timber. The roman numeral VIII and the 1E shown in this photograph were how timber frames of old were marked for assembly. Hewn timber of old was neither straight, square nor flat, so the joinery wasn't interchangeable. To avoid mistakes when raising the frame later, joiners scribed marks into timbers that were fit to each other, or married.

A room that takes childhood seriously. Floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins painted in a deep, sophisticated forest green create a space that is playful without being childish — a library, a game room, and an adventure all in one. The color echoes the conservation woodland just outside, bringing the same design language that runs through the entire home into even the youngest members' space.

Treatment For Residential Waste water
Every home generates wastewater and while there is no way of getting away from this fact, it is good to know that there are quite a few options when it comes to treating residential wastewater.
The traditional septic tank
For a very long time, the septic tank ruled the roost when it came to residential water treatment. This tank is a fairly simple construction and is very widely used. It relies on the sedimentation process to deal with residential wastewater.
Sometimes the septic tank can be boosted in its processes with the use of:
• Flocculates.
• Chemical inputs.
• Patented or proprietary technology and so on.
Use of chemical methods
Processes such as chlorination have emerged as cost effective methods to treat wastewater. At the heart of the following processes is the use of a chemical agent and a chemical reaction to get the wastewater treated:
• Ion exchange.
• Adsorption.
• Chlorination.
• Use of polyvalent metals for coagulation and so on.
Biological processes
In a very unique wastewater treatment approach – bacteria are used to break down the components of wastewater! Of course there is a lot of science and research that has gone into these methods of treating wastewater. For instance, the use of a septic tank, as stated above is a biological, anaerobic method of treatment. Biological processes will also cater for destroying any disease causing organisms.
The combined approach
Residential wastewater is also treated with the use of a combination of methods. For instance, a device that uses an aerobic approach to wastewater treatment will also have mechanical components to get the process to be even more effective. It is critical to invest in a system that promises total – 100% - treatment of the wastewater.
If the residential wastewater is not treated comprehensively then the effluents can cause all kinds of health issues to the people in the property.
Effective systems
If you are scouting for a system to help in treating residential wastewater then you should know that there are systems that are sophisticated in their working. Flow equalization to ensure 100% treatment and the use of an internet based alarm system make such products very effective and energy efficient too.
It is also a good idea to check with your local sanitation authorities before investing in products so you can ensure you are compliant with all local health and public safety rules and regulations. For instance, using NSF certified systems can help in this regard.
