Protecting your home from 5G emf with natural protection via Mother Nature, Paints, Window Films, Foil Bubble Wrap...

I noticed in Europe they were cutting trees down to make way for the coming 5G towers that are planned for the area. It didn't take me long to figure out that Tree Leaves interfere with 5G.

This also means that Trees Stop 5g.... and all the more reson to plant more trees!; Tens of thousands of trees 🌲 felled - for 5G https://t.co/luVU0WN08I …

A previous - Energy Efficient- bedroom remodel project for a building on The Hill in StLouis. I installed a Double Foil Bubble Wrap (similar to the product from Menards above) behind the drywall in the walls and ceiling. The owners reported that cell phone connection was virtually impossible in this room and when they were in the room it felt good.  

I remodeled an upstairs awhile back. For energy efficiency, we installed Double Foil Back Radiant Barrier behind the sheetrock. Learned afterward- it stopped cell phone reception and reports it felt good in the room-? no emf interference?

Once again putting 2+2 together; I feel the Metal Foil Bubble Wrap Energy Efficiency Barrier was the reason they felt good because they were not subject to the EMF frequencies bombarding their home when they were in this room.

Don't Forget the Windows!

Don't forget your windows Curtains or Window Films block emf: via google: “Using anti-radiation curtains or curtain liners will block up to 100% of EMF radiation coming into your home through the windows. ” https://buff.ly/2Eih8w1

Curtains only stop the EMF frequencies when they are closed

When the window shades are open; to stop the EMF frequencies you will need a Window Film or Window Tinting. I can't personally vouch for this but when I lived in Arizona and Kirksville Missouri I ran a Window Tinting Business, one of the highlights of a metalized window film was they stopped sound devices from snooping from prying ears. I just sent a message to LLumar Window Films for current information about any products they may recommend for this situation. I noticed via a google search that other companies have window films that stop EMF but I have never used their products.

Will the People in StLouis who live in all these cool old brick buildings have anything to worry about? 

I don't know for sure, but I bet Masonry Buildings will stop 5G. I will update this blog if I learn differently.

What about Green Roofs with Soil and Grass? or Vegetables? 

Would it even be ok to eat a vegetable that was inundated by 5G waves? 

Both of the above questions are things I will be researching and will update this 2000th EMF blog post when I learn more.

If you or someone you know is suffering from 5G or planning to protect your StLouis Home from the coming onslaught of 5G frequencies feel free to contact me by email or the blog contact form and I will respond with various solutions and techniques to counter the emf signals affecting your home.

I'm 2 days into an experiment: I have been sleeping in a Foil Backed Cocoon- fashioned around my "Sleigh Bed", theory: Block EMF or whatever to see if I will sleep better.

Buildings Things We All Agree On

In discussions with other Peers 

                  involved in the Construction Industry about the building and remodeling of homes and business in the St Louis Area. I keep a mental log of the conversations and what I noticed was a recurring theme in something we all did agree on ( and it didn't matter if I was speaking to a Democrat, Republican, Independent- Young or Old). They all agree that: Material prices have skyrocketed in the past few years. A Building shouldn't be drafty and have air leaks. Heat and Cool Buildings Efficiently and Affordably.

Material Prices Have Skyrocketed

Supply and Demand is Driving the Material Costs Higher. World Wide Population growth coupled with what seems like some form of Natural Disaster Somewhere in the World every Month or Two. It doesn't matter if the home or business was destroyed by the Flood, Hurricane, Tornado, Tsunami, or whatever it was. The End Results are the Same: Cities and Towns left Completely in Ruins. And we simply can't get trees to grow as fast as what's needed to rebuild the damage.

Air Leaks and Drafty Homes

Whether its your home or office: Everyone wants to be comfortable. With the Advent of the different types of Air and Vapor Barriers, Insulation, Advanced Framing Techniques, Windows, and Doors. (As Required by current building codes) Buildings are now constructed and or remodeled using progressive building techniques that eliminate over 90% of these Air Leaks.

Heat and Cool Buildings Efficiently and Affordably

We've came along ways in providing heat for the home over the years. Long past is the time we spent sitting around the campfire for warmth. Our warmth in the winter and cold air in the summer; now comes from the switch on the wall. (I enjoy the modern convenience of a climate controlled room.) And any business owner will state that their employees productivity is greater when the staff isn't too hot or cold. In times long since past the costs for turning up or down the temp didn't make too big of a bill at the end of the month. Nowadays it seems that every notch on the dial leads to higher bills at months end.

Its obvious to me that: Green and Sustainable Buildings is the Answer for today's Construction Needs. I would venture to say that 90% of today's builders and remodelers (worth their Salt) adhere to Energy Efficient Building Guidelines.

Which always leads me to ask:

"What is wrong with making your own Electricity?"

A new recurring theme appeared and they asked these three main questions: Is it affordable-Aren't they expensive to install? Is Solar Reliable?

Zero $Money Down Solar Lease is one example

I then start telling them about the: Zero Down Solar Lease, which makes solar affordable on most every budget. (for every home I have figured- Solar either eliminates or cuts the Electricity Bill in half.) What could be better than a Non-Polluting Solar Electric System that generates its own electricity for less than your current Ameren UE Utility Bill?

Installation Is Covered

With the $00.00 Down Solar Lease- Any Permits, Inspections, Installation, and Maintenance is included in the Solar Lease.

That means that you will not have to come out of pocket for a Dime to install a Solar System at your Home or Business. Installation and Maintenance is covered in the Solar Lease

20+ Year Guaranty

The various Solar Systems I sell, lease, and install all have guaranties for 20+ years. These warranties come from Field Tested Systems; where the electrical output is so predictable that the "Yearly" electrical outputs are guaranteed as well. As long as the sun is shining they will produce electricity for your home for many many years into the Future. And Unlike the rising costs of electricity- an Owner of a Solar system costs decrease as the Solar System pays for itself.

I can't spell it out any clearer. Solar is Affordable Now. It will decrease your High Energy Bills leaving more $Money$ for you and your household. And it will last 20+ years and still produce electricity in its old age. What is there not to like about a Free Solar Lease System? and as always Scotts Contracting provides a Free Estimate for any job. What have you got to lose?

Design Build Loft CAD designs with Build Notes

Design Build Energy Efficient Loft Home Design CAD drawings and Build Notes for Brick Home LEED Rated Project:

• Exposed Brick Interior Walls- Soulard Red Mortar
• 2nd Floor Loft Railings will reflect the design chosen for the finishes- Modern, Rustic, Traditional, etc.
• Fireplace, Mantle, Smoke Stack- Final Design chosen to match existing finishings and the exposed brick walls.
• 3 Bedroom
• Master Bed w/Bath ea floor
• 2 Full Bath,

• 1st Floor Sun Room/Study,
• 2nd Floor Office/Spare Bedroom,
• 2nd Floor Deck,

• 

  Design Build Energy Efficient Loft Home Design CAD drawing

  
  

I propose:

• Make Fireplace focal point of front room and second floor Loft Area
• Loft removing 1/2 of the front room ceiling and floor system.
• This opens the entire floor plan up and gives options for incorporating fireplace, mantle, and smoke stack up the wall for Vertical Appeal.
• 2 Draw Backs to this design: 
• a: it is not as energy efficient to have ceilings that tall, windows that large and numerous. 
• b: the size of the opening is about the size of a bedroom.  So you lose a bedroom.

• On the Adjacent Wall- copy the existing design of where the Glass Block in the 1st Floor to Ceiling.  Directly above- copy and build this set up into the 2nd Floor as well.  This will tie the vertical space together. 
• Glass Block or:
• Stained Glass- would or could also be used for accent options.
• Since the existing flooring is damaged in the center of the room on the first floor; I also suggest to incorporate a design into the floor as an accent in front of the fireplace.  Matching the existing floor could prove to be a challenge- here's an example
• If you choose to use the fireplace for more than looks and for actual heating purposes, it wouldn't be too big of a deal to channel that hot air back into the rooms.

Energy Efficiency:

• Exposed Brick walls have little to no insulation value.
• If insulation is desired you have to insulate the outside or build walls on the inside.
• I have additional energy saving design tricks for brick walls up my sleeve that I will share at a later date.
• I say sacrifice the R Value for Koolness factor,
• To combat the energy loss from the walls means that whatever makes the heat needs to run cheap and use no fossil fuels.
• Geothermal is my first choice,
• Solar w/ Instantaneous is 2nd choice
• Full Insulation in Attic/Ceiling as well as
• Basement Walls and Ceiling (full ins)
• Geothermal Infloor heating or radiant floor heating with electric are heating options to minimize the HVAC heating.
• Fireplace- Emergency use or heating choice (high efficiency insert into a fireplace for increased energy efficiency- could be ducted into existing hvac ducts and used to heat home.)

Importance of Keystone,Springers,Voussoirs-Architectural Arches StLouis Brick Building

Keystone (architecture)

Decorative Lion Head Keystone

Location of Keystone-Architectural Arch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: 

A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone piece 

at the apex of a masonry vault or arch, which 

is the final piece placed during construction 

and locks all the stones into position, allowing 

the arch to bear weight. 

Although a masonry arch or vault cannot be 

self-supporting until the keystone is placed, 

the keystone experiences the least stress 

of any of the voussoirs, 

due to its position at the apex.

Keystone, Springers, Voussoirs StLouis Brick Building

Voussoir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A voussoir (pronounced /vuˈswɑr/) is a wedge-shaped element, 

typically a stone, used in building an arch or vault.

Although each unit in an arch or vault is a voussoir, 

two units are of distinct functional importance: 

the keystone and the springer. 

• The keystone is the center stone or masonry unit 

            at the apex of an arch. 

• The springer is the lowermost voussoir, 

located where the curve of the arch springs from the 

vertical support or abutment of the wall or pier.

The word is a mason's term borrowed in Middle English from 

French verbs connoting a "turn" (OED). Each wedge-shaped 

voussoir turns aside the thrust of the mass above, transferring 

it from stone to stone to the springer's bottom face ('impost'), 

which is horizontal and passes the thrust on to the supports. 

Voussoir arches distribute weight efficiently and take maximum 

advantage of the compressive strength of stone, as in an arch bridge.

In Eastern Romanesque and Arab architecture the voussoirs are 

often in alternating colors, usually red and white.

During the 18th and 19th centuries British bricklayers became 

aware that by thickening the vertical mortar joint between regularly 

shaped bricks from bottom to top they could construct an elliptical 

arch of useful strength over either a standard 'former' or over 

specially constructed timber false work, (work to be removed following 

the construction of the prime). The bricks used in such an arch 

are often referred to as 'voussoirs'.

StLouis Building Preservation-Tuckpointing-Architectural Arches

Day 1 Work Photos showing the Architectural Details and how the Brick Mortar had eroded away in the 100+ year life of the building.  


Note: Mortar has eroded to the point that the Key Stones will loose their position and start the Domino Effect and allow the Entire wall to collapse.

When #MortarJoints  have deterriorated to this point it takes quite a bit of effort and patience to completely fill the voids {Tuck-pointing} to hold the #Bricks  in place.
