Comments (6)Now, as I said before, the problem could be from lack of proper water. It could be from numerous other causes. An insect may have crawled down in the cigar leaf, as it was emerging. It could also be from overwatering, or cold damage. (although I see from my Sunset book that you are somewhere is southern California) that would not be likely. The reason that I said it looked more like a Maurelii, is shown in the attached picture. I will also send a picture of a Dwarf Cavendish, but it will have to be in a subsequent post, as I don't know how to send multiple images on this site. Here is a link that might be useful: Maurelii...See Morethin fingernails
Comments (1)My guess is you are not lacking vitamins, its another symptom of menopause with the splitting nails. More likely your estrogen and progesterone levels are the culprit (and calcium, etc.) They affect everything. Your manicures seem to work, so discuss this with the manicurist and quite possibly she will give you some excellent tips on how to maintain them yourself, such as a polish strenghtening choice, etc....See MoreReasonable fix for soundproofing paper thin walls?
Comments (13)Type X drywall is, by definition, drywall that provides a 1-hour fire resistance rating when one layer is applied to each side of wall studs. As it happens, that turns out to be 5/8" drywall that has internal fibers that prevent the drywall from collapsing when the required hose stream test is conducted after a one-hour exposure to fire in the required test. Unfortunately, Type X has no greater sound resistance than any other kind of 5/8" drywall. For better results use one layer of drywall on one side and two layers on the other whatever the thickness of the individual panels. As I have already mentioned, sound transmission through walls is commonly misunderstood by homeowners and the internet is full of information from manufacturers that think only their product is effective. The fact is that most sound passes through walls through cracks, openings, and adjacent spaces above, below and to one side of what appears to be a solid wall therefore adding more drywall is only helpful if you have addressed these issues as well. An acoustic engineer will tell you that sound abatement techniques often do not show the expected results in field tests because the way the wall is built is so often more important than what it is made of. Walls are never "paper thin"; if they seem to be that way it is always due to sound leaks....See Moreweed30 St. Louis
