Millk of magnesia I believe. I insulated a garage with straw and cardboard. I was researching simple flame retardent materials, and Milk of magnesia was one. Epsom salt maybe. Worth checking out. Never did practical research on it.

ohh... milk of magnesia. Cool. I'll ave to look into that.  Its sort of funny that magnesium burns like crazy, you milk is, and ..... oh nevermind. :-P

So, we have the thought police here?

Only happy unicorn thoughts allowed?

Don't say anything he doesn't like, he can't take it so he will delete your comment.

Complements ONLY allowed. Anyone who tells the truth is "negative".

[JMEMantzel]

I don't delete videos. Sometimes after I respond to commments, they disappear. That isn't my fault. Its youtubes crappy programming. I've probably deleted 5 comments in the last 2 years. ...and they were really useless ones.

That said, it is my perogative. If I want to have a positive message, and positive conversations on my pages, it is totally within my rights to delete anything I want. ...although.... even if I wanted to, I wouldn't take the time to do so.

DIY fireproofer recipe

Mix a solution of nine ounces Borax and four ounces boric acid in one gallon of water (70ml Borax and 30ml boric acid in 1 liter of water). Take down the foam, saturate in solution, squeeze out excess then let it dry. If you cant take down the foam, wetting with a spray bottle might be alternative?

boric acid is sold as an ant and roach killer (so keeps pesties away).

Wear rubber gloves. There are no fumes, but be careful not to inhale mist if you try the spray idea

thanks. I better copy this comment.... good info.

You could try papercrete, its pretty much flame resistant even to a blow torch. Not sure how it would stick to the styrofoam though

Its going to cost you but you ever thought of Trying out using a 4-6 solar panels and a 500W-750W electric heater within 2 hrs should heat the structure enough to habitable temp and with a good 10-12 battery bank would be great plus during the day when you dont need it the batteries are charging and you have a good source of power for lights and a radio or mp3 player

[FREENAMEFTW]

You talk about chemicals to prevent fire maybe you could make some sprinkler system instead?

And besides cant you make a nice tripod for the camera so that you can get some better shots on when you are working? ^^

[Matseuo]

Just what I said. I don't like having my comments deleted especially when they are very mild. Look how many have been deleted by him.

That's what my problem is.

Sorry, I should have looked at your profile before I asked. I just assumed you are from Texas. We don't have many places with winters as bad as yours.
