you can also try to google this: <br>
site:listserv.repp.org porcelain resurfacing<br>
(gives 4 results from this list from Jan 2009)<br>
<br>also i made an attempt to refresh my own and our collective memory on how to search the archive...<br><br>
----searching greenbuilding listserv archives (old (repp/crest) and new list (bioenergy))
<br>
this is a FIRST DRAFT on comprehensive search guidelines - gathered and
re-written from previous emails on this topic (and quickly tested by
me). Please repost with corrections if you can get it to work better. (it clearly needs work)<br>
<br>
you can search the archives of these mailing lists using google by following these instructions:<br>
<br>
<b>--search all the old lists</b>: (are there two sets of old archives 1996-2004, 2004-2010? and the new one 2010+)<br>
site:listserv.repp.org [your] [search] [terms]<br>
<br>
<b>--all the new lists:</b> (back to Sept 2010)<br>
site:lists.bioenergylists.org [your] [search] [terms]<br>
(if you include greenbuilding as one of your search terms if can help bring more results just from this list)<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>--the greenbuilding old list:</b> (not sure this is complete or what years are covered - i.e. searching "chaff" for Rob Tom only gives a handful of results)<br>
site:repp.org/discussion/greenbuilding [your] [search] [terms]<br>
<br>
<br>
--found this syntax in Jan 2002 message:<font style="" face="Verdana, sans-serif, Helvetica"> (doesn't currently work)<br>
</font>"insulating paint" site:crest.org inurl:greenbuilding<br>
<br>
<br>
--to make something new and improved? and for other list searches?<br>
on the stoves page they have a search box. using it they have encoded
this kind of syntax: (biochar being the search term - but it gives
results from multiple sub lists)<br>
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=biochar&btnG=Google+Search&domains=http%3A%2F%2Flistserv.repp.org&sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Flistserv.repp.org%2Fpipermail%2F<br>
anybody want to make a greenbuilding intro page with search box so no one has to do it using the instructions above?<br>
maybe make multiple boxes to search each separate list or separate years of the archive?<br>
<br>
caveats: i think all these searches only are as current as google's
indexing. i.e. it might be that only items older than a week or two will
show up. not newer items.<br>
<br>
other sublists: is there an easy way to get the current list (stoves,
gasification, solar, greenbuilding, other)? (the bioenergylists.org
homepage is stove specific.)<br>

I'm wondering if there are any durable and environmentally <br>> decent methods to renew/refinish the tub, either in situ or sending <br>> it out. (We are replacing the tile, so removing the tub and sending <br>> it out for refinishing is not out of the question.)<br>> <br>> From what I've researched so far:<br>> 1. The DIY finishes are terrible -- both environmentally and <br>> esthetically, as well as durably.<br>> 2. There are at least two types of in situ refinishing services. One <br>> is apparently far better than the other in terms of durability, but <br>> both involve toxic fumes. The resulting finish, I've heard, may not <br>> look like the original porcelain.<br>> 3. I've heard rumor of places you can send the tub to that give it a <br>> new "dip coat" that's more similar to the original finish, but <br>> haven't found who does it. Nor do I know anything about the toxicity <br>> of that process.<br>> <br>> Does anyone have any further info on this? I hate to remove the tub <br>> and then replace it with a new one that is similar in size but <br>> doesn't fit as well or look as right.. And I've searched for vintage <br>> replacements.<br>> <br>> Thanks,<br>> <br>> David<br>> <br>> <br>> David Bergman RA LEED AP<br>> DAVID BERGMAN ARCHITECT / FIRE & WATER LIGHTING + FURNITURE<br>> architecture . interiors . ecodesign . lighting . furniture<br>> bergman@cyberg.com www.cyberg.com<br>> 241 Eldridge Street #3R, New York, NY 10002<br>> t 212 475 3106 f 212 677 7291 <br><br></div> </div></body>
