Have been told this is called hammering. Does not occur all the time or with the same intensity. Can this be stopped?

I checked with the county's land record. They have no files that go back further than 1970 because of a fire. The state doesn't have the information either.

I have heard you can use biological powder, has anyone tried it and had good results, or can anyone suggest other household products. Thanks

There are only around ten maggots scattered around the ceiling. I consider myself a very hygienic person and clean my house regularly so have no idea why this has appeared.

I found this page and ran some numbers:

The cost savings is unbelievable.
I know coal is dirty, but with such incredible savings, I'm surprised more people don't heat with it.

Know of anyone still using it?
What was it like in the old days when homes were heated with coal furnaces?
What's the deal?
