Yeah, we have an old #kitchenaid mixer that belonged to hubby's grandmother. It started making noise and a friend took it apart. It just needed the gears greased! @PeachMcD @AccordionBruce

"Surprisingly, researchers found that producing Roman mortar and concrete requires more water and more greenhouse gas emissions than #PortlandCement – the most common type of cement used in concrete today.

"But while the initial energy costs may be steeper, Roman concrete formulations could ultimately prove more sustainable in the long run. That's because they may not need to be replaced or repaired as often."
