Up on roofs?
Article Abstract:
A green roof also referred to, as the eco-roof, garden roof, living roof, or vegetated roof is a lightweight, layered roofing system that allows virtually maintenance-free plants to top a waterproofed substructure. Eco-roof helps to purify the air by absorbing pollutants and keep a rooftop 10 to 20 degrees cooler in summer and warmer in the winter, which means lowered air-conditioning and heating bills, fewer fossil fuels wasted, and a healthier environment.

Article Abstract:
Suggestions for painting a wall without damaging the door are presented. Some of the important suggestions are that plastic sheeting underneath the door should be maintained to catch the falling bits of paint, and when the work is completed, the door should be wiped out with a liquid household cleaner.
