I turned the book back into the library, so I can't give specific examples, but I do remember the book talking about all of this kind of stuff. It was very informative, at least to me. HTH, Havs PS I always enjoy lame jokes. Please, don't leave it out next time. LOL!!!

I'll forego the lame joke I made, but I'm curious to know if the book mentions anything about sprinkler systems and water conservation? Do they help? Second attempt at commenting…
