We tried Butch’s Pulled Pork Nachos today at a BBQ cook-off (I think they’re from New Jersey). All of us agreed the food was excellent. Now I would love to duplicate the recipe for a barbeque I’m having this weekend. Does anyone have a similar recipe, or one for this dish? (I can buy the pulled pork at our local restaurant, but need other ingredients). The nachos were very light, & the cheese sauce was yummy.
Thanks much!!

I am looking for some new recipes for my festive dinners. I like a lot to throw parties with big occasions such as the SuperBowl or other sport events. My friends and I gather together, watch TV and have a great time. Now I’d like to try a new pulled pork recipe, something that I never tried before. It has to be surprising and delicious.
If anybody can help me, please use the comments box to shout out your best pulled pork recipes ever.

I spend more time in my bedroom than any other part of the house, I sleep there as well as spend most of my leisure and study time there.
So it is fairly important to make this room as comfortable as possible.
Unfortunatly the room is anything but comfortable in summer.
My room was built by myself a few years ago into the second car slot of a 2 car garage. There was no insulation in the roof however I have now insulated all the walls and ceiling and bought insulating sliding glass door window treatments.
In the corner of my room is a hot water heater which is on 24/7 which adds considerably to my rooms temperature.
My room has think carpet which rests on top of shattered concrete so the carpet has to stay.
There is no window in my room but I installed a vent that sucks air from outside and pulls it in, however it doesn’t work at all during summer because the air outside is very hot.
I have 5 desktop fans on 24/7 which create a cyclone-effect.
The room has 3 PC’s, 2 TV’s and a server PC which generates a lot heat.
The room is thankfully almost dust free due to the lack of windows and I installed dust filters on intake air. However in order to keep it dust free the door to my room needs to be shut and vacuum sealed as much as possible, resulting in the room having a very high pressure.
Air conditioning is out of the question because I already pay a lot on power as it is.
I would also prefer to keep liquids to a minimum in this room due to the expensive hardware that could be sensitive to it.
So with that aside, what can I do to make my bedroom cooler?
at the moment it is 28 degrees Celsius and I can’t wear cloths inside my room.

Pinky is a 10 yr old, spayed, female who likes to go out at night but will tear up the soft garage door insulation around the doors to get in if I’m not there to let her back in. This also applies to any door she seeks entry to, even if she’s inside, such as the pantry door leading to the garage. She has clawed carpet under doors of rooms inside the house that she seeks to get in or out of as well. I don’t want to de-claw her and I’m at the end of my wits to redirect this behavior after applying a battery of methods which have only worked for short periods. So, if any of you has another idea, I’d be grateful.

I want to add a 2nd pane of glass (actually plan to use polycarbonate) on my garage door windows. Each door has two 16×40 windows, and I need to use some form of insulation kit between the panes, such as 1/4″x 1/4″ foam. I’ll need about 80 feet of this to do the perimeter of the window and also the perimeter of the plastic bezel that hold the panes in place. What would be the preferred product to use?
I am thinking of only 1/4″ thick since the 16 existing screws that hold the front an back plastic bezels together can be re-used – if I made it thicker, I’d have to replace the 1″ screws with larger ones. Will the 1/4″ space provide an adequate air space between the panes? My goal is to prevent condensation and icing on the inside pane.

My *sweet* little dogs have developed this liking for chewing on the insulation of our garage door.
I’ve heard there’s a garage door insulation kit so you could just pop out a panel and put in a new one.
Problem is, I can’t find one anywhere. I’ve been to Lowes, Home Depot and even started searching on the internet.
I heard this might be a seasonal product – anyone know where I can get it, or at least when it will be available at Lowe’s if I can’t order it online somewhere right now?
If I can’t find it, I might want to have the dogs pretend they are garage door insulation.
Thanks everyone!

Hello,
We just moved into a new house and my bedroom window is the kind that opens up by sliding it to the right or left. So, There isn’t a space or gap at the top where blinds usually go. Is there a way to put blinds on the window by hanging it above the window? If so, where can I get these and what kind?

Do you live in a place where winter is really white and cold? If you do, you probably know how much of your expensive indoor heat gets lost because of thermal exchanges that occur all over glass surface. Glass is indeed an awful thermal insulator, yet many of use love big windows, mostly if we have a house with a beautiful view. For such windows, insulated curtains are an affordable and effective solution for creating a radiant barrier that would prevent cold drafts formation inside the rooms.
Making your own thermal insulating curtains or drapes is very easy. It’s enough to double your regular curtains with an insulating lining layer. You sew the two pieces of fabric together, then hang your curtains back to the windows and add some Velcro tape on the backside of the curtains and on the walls, in order to make the three free edges of the curtain stay pressed against the wall.
This is one of the cheapest home insulation methods that can significantly improve the r-value of your windows, thus increasing your thermal comfort and decreasing your energy bills.
