I'm currently in the process of having a dog crate built/welded out of aluminum round bar, angle iron, and square tubingI needed a heavy duty cage because I have a Blue Pitbull/American Bulldog Mix who has separation anxiety and has managed to break and bend one of these ASPCA crates founat Petco/Petsmart type stores to the point where it can no longer contain himThe only crates I can find online that would hold him costs between $800-$1000 so I calculated that I can have one built for about 1/4-1/3 that price.I was going to use standard aluminum floor plate for the bottom inside the cage but it seems like this would be cold, hard, and uncomfortableSince he manages to tear up any bedding or blankets I put in there for him I need something soft enough for comfort but strong enough so he cannot rip it up.Anyone know of any type of material I can use for this?
The silver in film is part of a silver salt (silver halides.) It is a very very small amount, probably less than 1 cent worth per rollYou would be a lot better off selling the film than trying to extract the silver from itIf you are hell bent on it, the first step is to expose the film to lightThis will break the silver from the halidesThen you can go about trying to figure out how to get the silver apart from the filmI am sure it is possible, but it would involve a lot of workI imagine you you would spend about $100 on ever $1 worth of silver you could extract.
I'm all for crate training dogs, and I crate all of mine at night, but if your dog is that distressed at being crated, he's obviously got problems that need to be addressed - either working with him to allay his fears, or giving him some sort of medication that your vet prescribesCrating a dog like that is just going to make him more insecure and nervous, you need to work to help him get over this issue, not just make it worse by forcing him into a stronger crateHe'll kill himself if he's as bad as you say, you can't just ignore the problem and keep him crated.
