Potential “Nuclear Fallout” Imminent As Radioactive Waste Sets to Burn in Missouri and No One Cares http://t.co/xBsgxZ0MVc via @po_st

According to the emergency plan, if the fire reaches the nuclear waste site, “there is a potential for radioactive fallout to be released in the smoke plume and spread throughout the region. This event will most likely occur with little or no warning,” the plan notes, listing the municipalities directly affected as Bridgeton, Hazelwood, Maryland Heights, the Village of Champ and the City of St. Charles.”

County Executive Steve Stenger has promised that the emergency plan is “not an indication of any imminent danger,” but with a fire just 1000 feet away from a nuclear waste site, the danger does seem imminent for many of the city’s residents.

“It is [the] county government’s responsibility to protect the health, safety and well-being of all St. Louis County residents. None of this is meant to be alarmist, but you have to be prepared,” Stenger said in a statement.

However, this week Koster told the Associated Press that the fire is even closer to the contamination zone than the city officials have even estimated because the radiation extends beyond the walls of the site.

The emergency plan provides very basic options for people to either evacuate the city or stay sheltered in their houses. Aside from saying that nuclear contamination can spread through the area in plumes of smoke, there was little mention in the report about what they actually expect to happen. 

Also alarming, is the fact that while there is an evacuation plan, there has been no plan proposed to actually stop this, or clean the mess up. It seems that the local government and the EPA are just hoping for the best as the fire continues to spread.

Holding Stair Spindle Caps In Position Easily

The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindle Caps have a set screw that may or may not hold the cap in place.  

To prevent the cap from falling out of place in the future the caps were glued in place.

The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindles have that twisted metal do-dad for appearances and aesthetics and should maintain the same slope of the stairway- per client.  

This is accomplished by:

1. setting up a string line at the proper height at the
2. upper most decorative spindle and the 
3. lowest decorative spindle.
4. Pull the string line taunt
5. Tape the String Line to the Post
6. you have the same height at both ends of the stairway.
7. The Taunt String Line is your guideline for setting the remaining Decorative Spindles at the Same Height and slope of the Stair Case.

Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindles have that twisted metal do-dad for appearances and aesthetics should maintain the same slope of the stairway- as this client requested. 

 Taunt String Line is your guideline for setting the remaining Decorative Stair Balusters "Do-Dads" at the Same Height and slope of the Stair Case.

Deck comes to life with TPWStain

Exterior Deck Re-Stain Before~After Photos~Tips by Scotty

Notice the dull appearance of the existing worn out finish on the Oak wood grain in the before photos.

Then watch it come to life as the TWP 1500 brings out the beauty and richness of the Oak Wood Grain.

Today's project is staining this deck to preserve the lumber pic.twitter.com/G0LEZlZSbr

The deck was a few years overdue: existing finish,

in many places was completely worn away by the elements and

by use.  

Old Stain was worn completely out and was not protecting the lumber 

from the elements or wear and tear of normal activities.  

After the first coat of stain had ample time to be absorbed by

the Oak Deck Materials, it became apparent that a second coat of stain was

going to be needed to fully protect the lumber adding years of future use.

Third coat of stain brings out the richness of the oak wood grains.

To add even more pizzazz the Dull Grey Faux Finished Concrete Post Piers were also stained.  

To add more pizzazz the Concrete Post Piers were also stained.  

This will improve the aesthetics of the deck by having all natural earth tones that 

are pleasing to look at and blend in with the decor and surroundings.

Before	After

This picture and view was when I realized that the Concrete Piers I repaired prior needed a coat of stain to blend them into the aesthetics of the Home.

To add even more pizzazz

the Dull Grey Faux Finished Concrete Post Piers were also stained.
