By merely stacking sections of logs on their sides in a mortar matrix (and 6 chunks for the interior walls), Jack and his wife constructed a unique and expansive house that's still braving the extra-colwinters common to their New Brunswick, Canada homestead. Stackwood, in case youve never heard of it, is one of the oldest types of construction we know of. And it's a wonder more people haven't rediscovered this unusual building, since it offers a number of significant advantages over the type of more common log construction methods . . . such as: 1 Simplicity. Anyone who can cut wood with a chain saw, and stack a neat cord, can build a stackwood wall'' house. 2 Low cost. Windfalls, trees that are too badly bowed or twisted to be used in a conventional log cabin, waste" lumber ... in short, darn near any kind of wood can be used to build a stackwood wall, as long as the wood is dry. 3 Soundproof design. Because the finished walls are so thick and because the log ends tend to reflect away" outside noises the insides of cordwood structures are unusually quiet. 4 Fire resistance. The mortar in the wall tends to absorb the heat of combustion, making it all but impossible for a fire to spread. 5 No chinking. The mortar is largely If a crack should develop, lime will leach into the break and calcify. 6 Building efficiency. Once the wall is up, it's finished inside and out. 7 Environmental harmony. The edifices are aesthetically pleasing and they blend harmoniously into a natural background. The main drawback to stackwood construction is that the finished walls have poor insulating properties, primarily because lime mortar passes BTU like the proverbial sieve. The Henstridges have solved that problem, however, by making the walls fairly thick (nine inches) and by sandwiching hunks of Styrofoam in the mortar. After hearing about the house that Jack built", MOTHER'S research staff decided to give cordwood architecture a try by building a stackwood dome greenhouse at our With the help of visitors to our summer seminars, the crew raised what is (to the best of our knowledge) the world's first such structure. We found this cone struction method to be but relatively especially for folks who e have access to free wood.

Is it my fault that everyone knows Im heavy into drama? Maybe if I had drooled on his newly bought tennis socks...maybe then he would have let me sniff the left over Snicker wrapper. I have tried every diet there is known to man. I tried the water diet and felt like Moby Dick at high tide. At least Moby got to eat once in a while. I tried the wine diet. You know the one that you drink a glass of wine before you eat. Its suppose to curb your appetite. It did just that. I got to the point where I didnt care much about anything. I tried the fasting one. I got so huntry I began to nibble on the furniture. You name it, Ive tried it. I lose a few pounds but then it happens, I lose all willpower and gobble up every thing. W aynette humms around her machine, day after day losing pound after pound without losing her patience or willpower. Instead of humming I just growl. The editor came over to me and asked think you could lay this ad out forme? Grrr, I replied, showing my teeth. Is that a definite no? she asked. So far Ive lost nine pounds and four friends. Not bad. The last time when I went on a diet I had to move out of town because I kept knawing on street signs, it cost me a fortune, those late night binges. I heard about a different diet through a friend in Reno. It s all yoga and herbs. She asked me to attend a meeting with her. I was skeptical but desperate so I went with her. I couldnt believe it. Insense was burning in little budda bellies, everyone was standing on their heads with a cup of herbal tea in front of them complete with straws. The ladies were in deep meditation. (I was surprised that none of them drowned in their tea.) My only hope faded. Number one I hate tea. Number two I havent stood on my head since I was three. N umber three. Im not too much into deep meditation with straws. I retreated to the Dairy Queen for a banana split . During a weak moment yesterday I went through my kitchen with a fine tooth comb. Hunting, seeking, scouring the cupboards, refrigerator and drawers for something sweet . I came up empty handed. I had already made sure that there would be nothing around, but I still searched, over and over. Nothing. I ended up pouting while watching the Jetsons on television. I really want to lose some weight before attending the first swimming lesson with my daughter. I had a horrid dream that as soon as I got into the water the lifeguard would shout, everyone out of the pool...the great white shark has returned! Oh well. I only have a few more pounds to go before I wont be mistaken for the Goodyear Blimp. I just dont know how muck longer I can last? I mean I only have so many friends.

Waynette is a nice quiet diet person, she never paid complains. I go on a diet and the whole world knows. I am a noisy diet person. I started a diet two days ago and no one is speaking to me. I am irritable, around impatient, grumpy and sometimes down right nasty, especially lunchtime. One day without a Snickers and my life flashes before me. Needless to say I have been just a little edgy. I wasnt going to tell anyone I was on a diet. People tend to try to find of your breaking point. They tend to flash a cinnamon roll in front your face and ask. Are you sure you dont want just a bite? Then, being the cindiplomatic diet person that I am, I reply, How would you like the namon roll to be a permanent part of your adenoids? I wasnt going to tell anyone at work, but our printer, Jeff, got kind of suspicious after he returned from the store across the street and I nearly attacked him. He had potato chips, a coke and the love of my life, (Snickers) in his shirt pocket. I fell to my knees grabbed his ankles and pleaded for food. (The sad part is I had only been on the diet for three hours.) I guess Im not very diplomatic. Please Jeff, Im growing weaker by the minute.

ST.CLAIRE crowded fourth-floo- r skybridge in Kansas Citys Hyatt Hotel killed 114 people, authorities are warning that a similar disaster could happen elsewhere. According to an article in the July Readers Digest, local officials throughout the country have been their building urged to code procedures to make sure such a tragedy isnt repeated because of similar mistakes. The damity which tood place the night of July 17, 1981, is blamed on design faults in the skybridge both in the original design and changes made during construction which somehow werent brought to light until after the collapse. Studies by both federal and private revealed that the investigators original skybridge design that was approved by Kansas City building inspectors did not satisfy the design requirements of the citys building codes. The error was compounded when, during construction, plans were that fear true. IRS Debbies Ms. Fortune Crystal Gazeir... changed to suspend the second-floo- r skybridge from the fourth-floo- r tier, instead of suspending both upper and lower walkways from the ceiling by h continuous hanger rods. This change was neither reported to nor reviewed by city building inspectors. FYom the day it was built,reports the Digest, the skybridge was barely able to support its own weight...It was a structure doomed to failure." As almost a foreshadowing of what was to come, a report issued by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) just two months before the Hyatt disaster had warned of the danger present in structures that lack back up supports as did the hotel. Its findings were based on a study prompted by the collapse in recent years of three major sports complexes. In those incidents the loss of life was low because the structures were empty of spectators. However, the AIA did warn that if there is a next time, we mav not be so lucky.
