That's pretty neat, although it makes me wonder why the news story earlier this year about measures the Atlanta aquarium was taking to cut back on water in response to the drought didn't mention that?

The Georgia Aquarium uses a closed re-filtering system, which means they have very little water inputs and outputs, to eliminate most of the water and sewer concerns. Since Birmingham isn't close enough to an ocean to make pumping water from the Gulf feasible, they'd probably use the same techniques.

Default Upholstery?

We need two antique armless chairs recovered...........does anyone know where I can get them recovered? I am looking for someone who might do it on the side so I don't have to pay through the nose.

Maybe because it wasn't a new thing; they've been doing it that way.. The new measures I heard about were comparable to the things any large space that caters to visitors could do.

The junior/vocational colleges used to have upholstery programs...students would recover them very inexpensively.

This is it!!!! One more reason to move to AL. Why our area is considered rural by the US Postmaster is an unsolved riddle. Carriers pick up packages and deliver stamps without extra charge. Brainless here forgot to leave postage for two airmail packages. My carrier paid for them out of her own pocket!!!

Hahaha..My sister did this in Lower AL, so one day I needed to mail something and I even met my postman outside to give him the money in FL. He said 'we don't do that'..
Now you know the real reason I moved to AL

Well you know there are a lot of community colleges around so if ones does furniture, there is a good chance another one does too.
