I'll admit this thread is drifting quite a bit from the topic so this is my final post to the thread until more actual information about the original accident comes in - the post-mortem stills at the end of the video (which I posted to simply illustrate the difference between a roof structure...
Bought my Pri-Ocide 5-gallon pail from Amazon after I was unable to find the smaller 32oz bottles any more. Seems the 55 and 5 gallon sizes are all they sell any more (kind of a shame considering how far this stuff goes with a 3800:1 dilution initial dose and a 7600:1 maintenance treatment). I...

I got a kick out of that episode - I think the show producers may tend to over dramatize some of the stuff you did. It's nice to do a project like that with your kid, I'm just getting to start doing that stuff with my oldest (4-1/2), but I don't have a film crew around to save it for...
