They are not perennial. Are you sure you do not have a disease? I would talk to an old timer in your area, call the county extension agent and explain the problem or take a sample to the office, and sometimes the garden stores have experts that can help you. Often the problems are different for different areas of the country.

It’s good you are taking iron. You should also be supplementing with B-12 and folic acid. Talk to your OB or a dietician about your diet before starting your family.

the replacement rivets are called pop rivets, and there is a gun that is used to install them. the gun looks like a pair of pliers and has a hole in it that you stick the nail into,then squeeze the handles a couple of times and the nail will break off. just make sure that you hold the rivet firmly into the hole as you do this so the rivet fully seats itself into the hole. you can buy one of these tools at the local hardware store for less than $10.00. good luck, hope this helps.

If your walls are framed with 2×4s, then use two 2×12s with a 1/2″ plywood spacer between the 2×12s. You will need cripples (better to have 2 each side) on each side to transfer the weight of the ceiling to the cripples at the opening. So if you want a 7′ finished opening (if you are trimming out the casing with 3/4″ trim) the 2×12 header would be 7′ 8 1/2″ long. The header would support the horizontal 2×4s at the ceiling.

the only thing i can think of is the drain hole your seeing may have at one time had a grease fitting in it,other wise i don’t know what to tell you,i had a motor home the other day working on it,and its a 95 model but built on a Chevy chassis,and it has a grease fitting in the end of the cone on it,so you could grease the wheel bearings,that’s all i know of that it could be,good luck on it hope this helps.

Sounds like you’ve done a little homework on this. Any chance you can get original plans for the house? Probably not, huh? Typically, when a slab is laid, they will pour a monolithic pier where the load bearing, center wall will be. But not always. I would guess that they might have if it is a two story home. The only other suggestion I would make is to put addition support in the middle of the temp 2×6 supports on either side of the proposed opening. Those 2×6’s will sag under the pressure. Better safe than sorry.

You don’t say where you are located (city, state) so giving general advice would be risky. You should contact an architect or structural engineer who is familiar with the building requirements for your area. If your location has earthquake, tornado or hurricane risks, then there will be more stringent codes to comply with.

A professional designer can also estimate the 2nd floor loads that will be carried down to the header and support posts. You don’t say whether you have a fiberglass shingle over plywood roof, or a a clay tile roof. Or if you have a cast-iron bathtub or a carpeted hallway directly above your load-bearing wall. In other words, the loads from the 2nd floor have a great deal to do with the proper removal and redesign of this interior wall.

Another consideration is that your homeowner’s insurance may reject any claims that you make in the future if you decide to design this project yourself without proper engineering or pulling building permits.

Anyone can die from complications from childbearing, but being a vegetarian or vegan isn’t a risk factor in particular.

I would be more concerned about your fetus getting the nutrition it needs for proper development during the pregnancy. Before you ever get pregnant, you should consult an OB/GYN to get a pre-natal work up so you can be healthy prior to getting pregnant.

As for getting enough iron, spinach and nuts are excellent sources.

I was anemic for years before my first pregnancy and continued to be during, and didn’t have any problems during child birth other than the fact that I have a bad heart. I used to take pills and ate meat and stuff trying to take care of my anemia and it wouldn’t go away. It finally did like a year and a half after I had my son. He’s about to turn three and I haven’t had any more problems.
