If you have information to the contrary, I would love to hear from you!Īll of that said, whichever plant you have-you can safely call it a ric rac, zig zag, or fishbone cactus and follow the care tips in this post. Given all of the information on these plants, I feel pretty confident saying that I have an epiphyllum/disocactus anguliger, while my mom has a selenicereus anthonyanus. The selenicereus anthonyanus type of ric rac produces pink flowers that bloom only at night, while the epiphyllum/disocactus anguliger produces white flowers. My plant does not have those.įlowering would help to confirm the plant’s true identities, too. My mom’s plant also slightly deeper “teeth,” I’d say. You can see that the teeth on my plant (white pot) are slightly more rounded than the teeth on my mom’s plant (white and gray pot). The first is my ric rac cactus, the second is my mom’s. But there are some differences when you look at them side by side. Selenicereus anthonyanus and epiphyllum/disocactus anguliger truly do look remarkably similar. But I haven’t really seen that name used widely at all, so I’m including the epiphyllum classification here.įor the longest time, I couldn’t figure out how to tell the difference between the two. Scientifically, “ric rac” or “zig zag” cactus could actually be one of two very similar plants: selenicereus anthonyanus (older version classification: cryptocereus anthonyanus) or epiphyllum anguliger or disocactus anguliger.Ī note on that last one-the plant was reclassified from epiphyllum to disocactus a few years ago due to recent molecular research. The plant doesn’t actually have leaves-everything you see on the plant is a stem. The ric rac cactus is native to Mexico, and it’s a type of tropical cactus. It’s closely related to the Epiphyllum Oxypetalum plant, which is also referred to as an “orchid cactus.” You might hear the ric rac cactus called a ton of different names: colloquially the fishbone cactus, the zig-zag cactus, or even an orchid cactus.

We think the wall option should be much stronger and better than the current situation as some of the existing ends are just hanging on by the barest bits of wood and the floor itself was very springy and moving when walked on. We know the correct answer would probably be to replace all the joists or add new end bits into the existing brickwork but we either can't afford to do this or wouldn't be able to do this ourselves, but the wall option is something we could do easily and relatively cheaply.īut we don't want to do anything that would affect structural integrity of the house - so if there is anyone out there who could comment on our proposed plan of action we'd be really grateful. You can follow along and should be able to do it yourself.Chapters00:00 Intro00:12 Put in an. Start by cutting out a small 12 in (2.55.1 cm) section of the floor joist with a reciprocating saw. They rebuild and replace the floor joists and the floor. Then we thought we could sort of brace the joists with pieces of wood between each one to hopefully straighten out the twist. Pry the floor joist from the subfloor with the back of your hammer. So the wall would sit inside the external wall and under all the joists. Would it be safe structurally to cut the rotten bits off, but a concrete slab under all the joists and build a wall on this slab, under the joists to support them all? In-progress photo of the pier and beam repairs along the stem wall. Some of the joists have also twisted, we think this is due to the rotting. Peir and beam foundation repair method 1: Nick and company showed up on day 1 with a truckload of 20 ton jacks, concrete columns, 4圆 beams, and 2圆 lumber for sistering floor joists and replacing the stem wall, replacing sill plates and end joists as needed. We've got some boards up and it's the ends of the joists which have rotten - they are sitting inside the bricks of the external wall (but are about to fall off as the ends are so rotten). We have decades of collective experience when it comes to dealing with these kinds of issues. The room with the problem is ground floor and one side of it adjoins the house next door, the other is an external wall (garden is outside). We at AFS Foundation & Waterproofing services are here to help. We have some problems with some floor joists and hope someone can suggest how we could solve it.

We have in our collecton the tractor that won the first tractor pull. Our family has a collection of over 100 Molines, and a green one here or there too. My grandfather owned and operated the Minneapolis Moline dealership in the town of Sheakleyville. That would mean that the first pull was in 1946. It lists the name of the winners with their distance, weight of the sled, and the distance pulled. Its says the town of Sheakleyville completed it's week long festival known as Sheakleyville Homecoming (this is still an active fair locally).In the article it says that fair held it's "6th annual tractor pulling contest" with over 1000 people watching. I have a pdf file of page 2 from Monday August 20th 1951 (sorry I wasn't able to attached the pdf file). The local newspaper for the area is The Record Argus. It is at the bottom of page 6 in the middle of the page in the article titled“Town of 100 Hails First Century".Īs the article above does not exactly say when the first tractor was, I have done some additonal research. It states that a town 80 miles to the north of Pittsburgh called Sheakleyville, PA was the site of the "Nations first tractor pulling contest." Below is the link to the article. I found an article in the June 10th, 1951 edition of the Pittsburgh Press. I've done research to find out where the first tractor pull was held. MinimServer is a server application for use on a local (i.e.home) network. There is the player (obviously), sometimes referred to as the renderer, the control point (which does what its name says) and the server, which accesses the content on whatever device it is stored. In any streaming system there are three primary network components, all implemented in software. Those of us who have come to rely on this software would, I think, want to wish the author, Simon Nash, every success in taking the new venture forwardĬlick to expand.I'll add to Paul's summary answer, if I may. Personally, I think that this new pricing structure puts MinimServer on a sounder long term footing, and I don't think that the prices quoted are unreasonable. All further developments will of course be offered on MinimServer 2 only. When MinimServer 2 is fully released, the current version of MinimServer will be withdrawn, though no doubt it will remain in circulation and use for a while. MinimServer 2 will be in three versions a starter version, essentially for people who only use the default settings, which will be free, a paid for, fully featured version with a permanent licence but only a year of updates and access to MinimStreamer (initial cost £28), and the continuation of updates and MinimStreamer access on a subscription basis for £10 p.a. Anyone using or with an interest in MimimServer will be interested to see the news about MinimServer 2 in this thread on the MinimServer forum. |
